Crew-11 undocking is scheduled for 2026-01-14, 22:05 UTC.
Splashdown is scheduled for 2026-01-15, 08:41 UTC.
On Jan. 8, NASA announced its decision to return the agency’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission to Earth from the space station earlier than originally planned as teams monitor a medical concern with a crew member currently living and working aboard the orbital laboratory, who is stable. Due to medical privacy, it is not appropriate for NASA to share more details about the crew member.

So only Russians are manning the station now and, and they cannot launch a new crew at the moment.

Nope, NASA astronaut Christopher Williams is still there to run the U.S. segment of the ISS. This is one of the benefits of the "seat-swap" agreement between NASA and Roscosmos.

Yes, with Baikonur Pad 31/6 offline due to the recent damage, and Starliner-1 demoted to an uncrewed test flight, we are once again in the situation where the ISS is reliant on a single vehicle (Dragon) to launch crew. Hopefully it will be only a few months this time, not an entire decade :)

Whew! Whether it was the equivalent of a heart flutter or an ingrown toenail, I didn't want them dealing with it up there. Way to go getting shit organized and getting them back here.
