The other comment got the gist of it, but didn't drill down into a few important details:

  • Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams left earth on June 5th, 2024, for a flight to the ISS.

  • They were scheduled to return between June 13th and June 15th, 8-10 days after launch.

  • They are still there.

  • Their damaged capsule was returned to earth without them back in September.

  • The earliest they can return will be late March, 2025
