SpaceX launches rescue mission for 2 NASA astronauts who are stuck in space until next year

SpaceX launched a rescue mission for two astronauts stuck at the International Space Station on Saturday, sending a downsized crew to bring them home next year.
NASA rotates space station crews approximately every six months, so this flight will not return until late February, with empty seats for Wilmore and Williams.
By their return, Wilmore and Williams will have spent over eight months in space, initially expecting only a week-long mission when they signed up.
