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

SpaceX launched a rescue mission for two NASA astronauts at the International Space Station on Saturday, sending a downsized crew to bring them home next year.
NASA rotates space station crews every six months, so the flight with empty seats for Wilmore and Williams won’t return until late February 2025.
By their return, Wilmore and Williams will have spent over eight months in space, initially expecting a one-week mission.
