NASA has decided to proceed with the replacement of astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore due to delays in SpaceX's new Dragon capsule, which was initially set for the Crew-10 mission. Instead, NASA is requiring the use of an already successful spacecraft, the Endurance, to ferry the new crew. The Crew-10 mission, which includes four astronauts from the U.S., Japan, and Russia, is now scheduled to launch on March 12, allowing for a timely transition for Williams and Wilmore, who have been aboard since June 2024.
NASA has now decided not to wait any longer and is demanding Elon Musk's space company use a ship that has already successfully carried out other space missions.
Williams and Wilmore will thus be able to return to Earth from mid-March, with the earliest possible date for Crew-10 to take off being March 12.
