SpaceX successfully launched its Crew-10 mission to the ISS, allowing astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to return after a nine-month stay. The mission will facilitate a brief overlap with the new crew before their return, slated for March 19. This launch is noteworthy as Williams and Wilmore's extended stay resulted from delays associated with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which faced technical issues. Elon Musk has controversially connected their prolonged absence to former President Biden, reflecting competitive tensions in the space industry.
