Butch Wilmore recently returned to earth this year after a 9-month extended stay on the International Space Station.

Cmdr. Barry “Butch” Wilmore and pilot Sunita “Suni” Williams were originally Boeing Crew Flight Test astronauts as they tested out Boeing’s experimental Starliner capsule last year.
