Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been stuck in space for more than nine months, are finally back on Earth.

Williams and Wilmore, along with fellow astronaut Nick Hague and Russia’s Alexander Gorbunov, were welcomed Tuesday when their SpaceX capsule safely splashed down off the Florida coast.

Williams and Willmore’s mission was only supposed to last a week when they arrived at the International Space Station last June, but their Boeing spacecraft was sent back without them when it suffered numerous malfunctions.
