NASA, SpaceX Launch Crew-10; Stranded Astronauts to Return

NASA and SpaceX launched the Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, enabling the long-awaited return of stranded astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center at 4:33 AM IST after a brief delay. Crew-10 includes astronauts from NASA, JAXA, and Roscosmos. Williams and Wilmore, stuck since June 2023 due to a Boeing Starliner malfunction, are set to return soon. Meanwhile, political tensions have escalated, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump accusing Joe Biden of delaying their rescue, sparking backlash within the space community.
