After nine long months of waiting, TikToker Daryn Wilmore finally got to say something she's dreamed of for the better part of a year: her father, NASA astronaut Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore, is no longer stuck in space.

After being stranded up in space for almost nine months, Barry “Butch” Wilmore was finally headed back to Earth this week—a dramatic journey his daughter documented on TikTok. Daryn Wilmore had been giving her TikTok followers regular updates about her dad and Sunita “Suni” Williams’ time on the International Space Station after a mission in June meant to last around a week turned into nine long months.

While NASA astronaut Barry 'Butch' Wilmore spent 286 days in space, his daughter documented his anticipated return on TikTok. Now, as he finally returns to Earth, she shares how her family plans on celebrating.
