Hurricane Milton Delays Return Of 4 Astronauts To Earth After 7-Month Stay At ISS

Hurricane Milton is weakening slightly but remains a ferocious storm that could land a once-in-a-century direct hit on Tampa and St. Petersburg, engulfing the populous region with towering storm surges and turning debris from Helene’s devastation 12 days ago into projectiles. NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick shared a timelapse video to X that showed the hurricane from the Dragon Endeavour spacecraft. Dominick and three other astronauts were supposed to return to Earth on Oct. 7 after a seven-month stay at the ISS. But their homecoming has been repeatedly delayed by tropical weather that is now Hurricane Milton.
