SpaceX launches a new crew to the space station to replace NASA’s stuck astronauts

The replacements for NASA’s two stuck astronauts are on their way to the International Space Station. SpaceX launched the new crew from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center on Friday night. The four astronauts should reach the space station the next day. That will pave the way for next week’s return of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. The two have been living at the space station since June, ever since their Boeing Starliner capsule malfunctioned and had to leave without them. What should have been a weeklong test flight turned into a nine-month mission with a SpaceX ride home. The replacements for NASA’s two stuck astronauts are on their way to the International Space Station.
