NASA astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore have been on the International Space Station for more than eight months, even though they initially expected to stay for just about eight days.

NASA and SpaceX scrubbed a pre-planned rescue mission just before launching to the International Space Station (ISS) that was going to provide a salve for two stranded astronauts to eventually return to Earth.

After being stranded in space for nine months, two NASA astronauts are getting closer to finally returning to Earth as a new group of astronauts prepare to head to the International Space Station.
