NASA will return Starliner astronauts to Earth early along with their Crew-9 companions, after deciding to swap Crew-10 spacecraft to launch the SpaceX mission sooner.

NASA should soon announce a new plan for the return of two of its astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, to Earth as early as March 19. This is about two weeks earlier than the existing public timeline for their flight home from the International Space Station.
