Two astronauts might come home early. NASA is changing plans to bring Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams back from space sooner.

SpaceX will use a different capsule to bring the astronauts back. This will allow them to return in mid-March instead of late March or April.

The astronauts' original ride home had problems. They were supposed to return in June on a Boeing capsule, but it wasn't ready.

SpaceX was going to use a new capsule, but it needs more work. Instead, they will use an older capsule that was already planned for another mission.

This means a private crew will have to wait. Their mission to the space station, arranged by Axiom Space, will happen later this spring.
