After being stuck in space for about nine months, two astronauts are finally coming home.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams traveled to the International Space Station in June.

They were the first crew to ride a Boeing rocket into space.

But part of the ship’s thrusters malfunctioned and it had a small helium leak, so NASA decided to send the ship back without them. Instead of staying on board for about a week, their stay ballooned to nine months.

Wilmore and Williams returned in a space capsule and splashed down near Florida on Tuesday.
