Two astronauts who made it to the International Space Station will bid farewell to the faulty spacecraft they were using today, as it's set to return to Earth - without them.
Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams were only supposed to be in space for eight days when they set off in July - but could potentially be there for EIGHT MONTHS as they're not due back until February 2025!
They've already been dealing with spooky sounds that were heard coming from it recently, and now the craft is leaving them altogether.
