Behind the story of the return of stuck NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams

On an episode of “The Story Behind the AP Story,” Associated Press space writer Marcia Dunn discusses the space odyssey of NASA’s two stuck astronauts. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are finally on their way home after more than nine months in space. Wilmore and Williams left the International Space Station in a SpaceX capsule early Tuesday, checking out with two others. The capsule is due to splash down in the evening off the Florida coast, weather permitting. The astronauts will then be taken to Houston. The astronauts’ return will close out a dramatic marathon mission that began with a bungled test flight of Boeing’s Starliner capsule last June.
