When the two American astronauts blasted off on a test mission to the International Space Station on 5th June 2024, they were expecting to be back home in a matter of days.
They were never actually stranded in space despite what the world wide press would have you believe, however it was great to get them back.
Their SpaceX capsule made a fast and fiery re-entry through the Earth's atmosphere on 19th March 2025 , before four parachutes opened to take them to a gentle splashdown off the coast of Florida - A pod of inquisitive dolphins circled the craft.
After a recovery ship lifted it out of the water, the astronauts beamed and waved as they were helped out of the hatch, along with fellow crew members astronaut Nick Hague and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov.
