Stuck in space no more, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams returned to Earth on Tuesday, hitching a different ride home to close out a saga that began with a bungled test flight more than nine months ago.

On an episode of “The Story Behind the AP Story,” Associated Press space writer Marcia Dunn discusses the space odyssey of NASA’s two stuck astronauts.

Wilmore and Williams bid farewell to the International Space Station — their home since last spring — departing aboard a SpaceX capsule alongside two other astronauts.
