Those stranded Starliner astronauts are finally coming back to the blue planet. You can watch their return live on Tuesday.

Those stranded Starliner astronauts are finally coming back to Earth, with a touchdown expected on Tuesday evening.

This was supposed to be a one-week stay but, just like Gilligan and the rest, was extended to nine months when the ship was deemed unfit for a crewed return to Earth.
