After being postponed, NASA's SpaceX crew10 had a successful launch Friday night.
Needham native Sunita Williams and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore have spent nine months in space after originally being scheduled for an eight-day mission.
People in Needham are crossing their fingers that everything runs smoothly. Williams and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore spent nine months in space after launching for what was scheduled as an eight-day mission.
Friday night's mission was a go as four astronauts onboard a SpaceX rocket that blasted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. They're expected to arrive at the International Space Station sometime Saturday. There will be a change of hands so Williams and Wilmore can finally hitch a ride home.
The pair has been at the ISS since June after riding up in the Boeing Starliner during a test flight. But a problem with the spacecraft forced them to remain there.
Four astronauts will make the trip back home. The two others have been at the ISS for about six months.

Cheers!
Capture reminds me of my wedding night.....
It’s be funny if they wore Halloween monster masks up there to scare them when they open the hatch.
The hard dock process?
I fully expect him to celebrate the docking with a rousing rendition of "Lesbian Seagull".
Does anybody know how long it will be before the crew heading back to earth gets to make the journey back?
By my memory, the crews overlap for about a week.
(Snipe are a huntable bird. )
You got that right. I hunt them every year. Good eating and good exercise going after them.
If all goes well, the 19th, Wednesday.
I just heard that as well. I guess they want to get Butch and Sunni back ASAP.
Probably delayed waiting for a Democrat federal judge to give approval. They seem to gum up every process.
Can’t wait for the guest on Coast to Coast who claims this was all done at an elaborate movie/sound stage at Area 51 in Nevada.
Ever see Capricorn 1?
Thank you. That will be a red letter day when they get back!
Pacing myself out here in the desert SW.
Yes, they’ll probably have a hard time adjusting back to Earths environment once back on the ground.
That’s very funny! He’s a pretty chill dude indeed. His name is Chris and he was part of a YouTube channel called Nasaspaceflight for many years. They track SpaceX and all space stuff, and especially starship development. He was hired last year by SpaceX. Several other members were also hired as various types of engineers.
Jack alope will be in season soon
It was the 12 claws pulling to hard docking.
The hunting of them is restricted here due to over hunting. I proudly have my mounted horns above the fireplace mantle.
