SpaceX successfully launched four people into space on Friday for the Crew-10 mission, allowing astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to return to Earth from the International Space Station after a nine-month stay.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to dock with the ISS on Saturday, adding to the existing crew before Williams and Wilmore return to Earth, possibly on March 19.
The Crew-10 mission is significant due to the previous journey of Williams and Wilmore on Boeing's Starliner, which experienced delays and issues, leading to an extended stay on the ISS.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has claimed that he offered to bring the astronauts back earlier, but Biden allegedly refused for political reasons, although no evidence has been provided to support this.
