Re: Crew-9 Returns to Earth
#3I remember some discourse saying they were not "trapped" in space (as in physically unable to get to earth safely), they just didn't want there to be only one american crew member on the ISS, or something along those lines. Is anyone on the ISS now, or did they all come home?

#4If I were involved in naming them, I’d add a “from Outer Space” just this time.

#5They should make a movie about this, it was all fun we were going to space for 8 days and stayed for 9 MONTHS STRANDED NO WAY BACK HOME. i felt so bad for them honestly. Glad they’re safe and home now.

Yes, four astronauts arrived on Saturday on Crew 10 and are there now.
edit: They came down on the scheduled Crew 9 craft, which, as the linked caption says, has been docked and waiting at the space station since September.

#7I'm going ahead and deciding that astronaut is no longer the awesome job I thought it was when I was younger. I'm good on that.

Feels more like getting an extended vacation getting to do the coolest thing you can do as a human.

Looks like crew 10 is comprised of four astronauts. Two from the US, one from Japan, and one from Russia.

It's less about how many Americans are on the ISS and more about not disturbing the mission schedule (too much), among cost considerations.
