根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
On March 18, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams returned to Earth after spending nine months in space. Their SpaceX capsule (太空舱) landed safely in the Gulf of Mexico near the coast of Florida.
1. They had launched on Boeing's new Starliner spacecraft on June 5, but technical problems forced NASA to bring the Starliner back empty. The astronauts then moved to a SpaceX capsule, which put off their return until February. Later, another issue (问题) with the SpaceX capsule added one more month to their stay in space.
Finally, on March 16, a new crew arrived at the International Space Station, allowing Wilmore and Williams to come home. 2 —Nick Hague from NASA and Alexander Gorbunov from Russia—who arrived in a different SpaceX capsule last year.
3 —much longer than planned. They orbited Earth 4,576 times and traveled 195 million kilometers.
4. Hague, the capsule's commander, smiled and said, "What a ride!"
Outside the capsule, divers checked the spacecraft while dolphins swam nearby.
5.*NASA will continue using SpaceX and Boeing to send astronauts until 2030, when the International Space Station is expected to retire (退役). After that, private space stations will take over, allowing NASA to focus on moon and Mars expeditions (探索任务).
A. They returned with two other astronauts
B. The astronauts were then helped out one by one
C. In total, Wilmore and Williams spent 286 days in space
D. In the beginning, their mission was planned to last only one week
E. When their capsule landed, SpaceX Mission Control in California welcomed them back

答案
1.D 根据后文“They had launched on Boeing's new Starliner spacecraft on June 5, but technical problems forced NASA to bring the Starliner back empty. The astronauts then moved to a SpaceX capsule, which put off their return until February.”可知，开始的计划和实际情况不同。D选项“一开始，他们的任务计划只持续一周”符合语境，引出下文任务的变化。
2.A 根据后文“—Nick Hague from NASA and Alexander Gorbunov from Russia—who arrived in a different SpaceX capsule last year”可知，这里说的是和另外两名宇航员一起回来，A选项“他们和另外两名宇航员一起返回”符合语境。
3.C 根据后文“much longer than planned. They orbited Earth 4,576 times and traveled 195 million kilometers”可知，这里是在说他们在太空的时间，C选项“威尔莫尔和威廉姆斯总共在太空度过了286天”符合语境。
4.E 根据后文“Hague, the capsule's commander, smiled and said, ‘What a ride!’”可知，这里是在说太空舱着陆后的情况，E选项“当他们的太空舱着陆时，加利福尼亚的 SpaceX 任务控制中心欢迎他们回来”符合语境。
5.B 根据前文“Outside the capsule, divers checked the spacecraft while dolphins swam nearby.”可知，接下来要说宇航员从太空舱出来的情况，B选项“然后帮助宇航员们一个一个地出来”符合语境。
