By Joey RouletteWASHINGTON (Reuters) - NASA and SpaceX on Friday launched a long-awaited crew to the International Space Station that opens the door to bringing home U.S. astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams,

The Crew-10 mission will send four astronauts to the space station to take over for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams’ crew, finally allowing their return home.

The Crew-10 mission will allow NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams to return to Earth after spending nine months aboard the International Space Station, far longer than their planned weeklong stay.
