SpaceX Crew Dragons swapped so ISS crew can go home early

SMRTR summary

NASA is modifying International Space Station mission plans due to spacecraft issues. Crew-10 will now launch on March 12 using a SpaceX Crew Dragon previously assigned to Axiom-4. This allows Crew-9 astronauts, including two extended-stay Starliner crew members, to return sooner. The change showcases NASA's adaptability in collaborating with SpaceX. Axiom-4 is rescheduled for May but may face further delays due to limited ISS docking ports.
