The NASA astronauts that Joe Biden left abandoned up in space for nine months have just safely returned to Earth!

Thanks to President Trump and Elon Musk, the pair have just landed back on Earth, off the coast of Florida — in the Gulf of America!

Welcome back, Sunita Williams an Butch Wilmore!

Watch this video of their splashdown:

Another promise kept, indeed!

Suni and Butch must be so happy to be back home.

Elon Musk congratulated their safe return:

Congratulations to the @SpaceX and @NASA teams for another safe astronaut return!

Thank you to @POTUS for prioritizing this mission! https://t.co/KknFDbh59s

From Reuters:

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams returned to Earth in a SpaceX capsule on Tuesday with a soft splashdown off Florida’s coast, nine months after their faulty Boeing (BA.N)

Starliner craft upended what was to be a week-long stay on the International Space Station. Their return caps a protracted space mission that was fraught with uncertainty and technical troubles, turning a rare instance of NASA’s contingency planning – and the latest failures of Starliner – into a global and political spectacle.

Amazingly, a pod of dolphins was there to greet the astronauts as soon as they splashed down into the ocean:

Astronauts who were stuck in space for nine months splashing down in the Gulf of America and immediately being surrounded by a pack of dolphins is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

How incredible is that?

Imagine being trapped in space for 8 months, then being greeted by dolphins after splashing down in the newly-named Gulf of America.
Wild.

WOW BEAUTIFUL

DOLPHINS HAVE SURROUNDED THE SPACEX CAPSULE! @SpaceX

Literally an entire pod of dolphins are jumping around the capsule as we await the exit of the astronauts from the Capsule.

Dolphins represent peace and harmony.

How special. @elonmusk
