NASA Astronauts who were arrested in space for nine months have returned to Earth, loving in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, off the Florida coast in the US – and were greeted by dolphins.
The Spacex capsule that brought them back home descended from parachute, a few hours after leaving the International Space Station, with the “Splashdown” to take place off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida, and to be broadcast live by NASA.

Wilmore and Williams should have been in space only one week, according to the plans of the First flight of astronauts made by Boeing.
However, in June last year, the capsule came with so many problems that the NASA insisted to return emptyleaving behind the pilots who performed this test, and now have been rescued through a Spacex flight.
However, there were even more delays, when a new Spacex capsule, which should have transported substitutes for NASA’s two astronauts a few weeks ago, needed wide Repairs on battery systems.
An older capsule of Elon Musk’s company then took the place of the previous one, and the operation could now proceed.
