SpaceX successfully launched four people for crew Swap to International Space Station from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 7:03 PM Eastern on March 24. The new astronaut Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers (NASA) and Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) are onboard will overlap with existing crew for Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to fly back home which supposed week long stay in the ISS had turned into nine- month stint.
Boeing's Starliner was supposed to dock with ISS however the Starliner started leaking helium, and some of its thruster had malfunctioned. The ground engineers and astronaut try to solve this issue but ultimately NASA decided to Starliner flyback to earth without crew.
The Crew-10 launch was ultimately delayes to give SpaceX enough time to process new Dragon spacecraft  for the mission. Williams and Willmore are now expected to fly back to Earth as soon as March 19, weather permitting.
