Sunita Williams , 59 , and Barry Wilmore , 62 , were supposed to spend eight days on the ISS when they embarked on their mission on June 5 , but the Boeing capsule that took them was plagued by technical issues.

By August , NASA decided that Williams and Wilmore would hitch a ride back to Earth on SpaceX's Crew-9 capsule, which is currently docked to the ISS .

President Donald Trump said 'the two brave astronauts' were 'virtually abandoned by the Biden administration' and asked Elon Musk and SpaceX to 'go get them'.

The handover process helps operations on the ISS run smoothly, but it is not an absolute necessity.

Should NASA opt to let the Crew-9 capsule leave the ISS before Crew-10 arrives, Russian Soyuz astronauts would be there to receive the crew-10 astronauts.

It's also possible that the timing of the Starliner crew's return will not change at all.
