-It’s the world’s largest building shaped like a chicken. It’s also a hotel
+NASA’s Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore finally return home after more than nine months in space

-Travelers to the Philippines can now book a room in the world’s largest building shaped like a chicken, located in the country’s remote highlands.
+NASA’s Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore — who gained international attention as their planned short stay in space stretched into a more than nine-month, politically fraught mission — are finally home.
-No, you’re not expected to bed down on top of a pile of straw in a chicken coop.
+Williams and Wilmore, alongside NASA’s Nick Hague and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency, safely splashed down off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida at 5:57 p.m. ET Tuesday.
-The towering six-story building stands nearly 35 meters (over 114 feet) tall and has 15 rooms, all equipped with air-conditioning. The rooms don’t have windows, though – they’d ruin the effect of the chicken’s feathers.
+The crew’s highly anticipated return came after the crew climbed aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule and departed the International Space Station at 1:05 a.m. ET Tuesday.
-Located atop the hills of Campuestohan Highland Resort on the island of Negros Occidental, the new landmark was officially given the Guinness World Record title for being the largest building in the shape of a chicken on September 8.
+The quartet are part of the Crew-9 mission, a routine staff rotation jointly operated by NASA and SpaceX. The Crew-9 capsule launched to the space station in September with Hague and Gorbunov riding alongside two empty seats reserved for Williams and Wilmore, who had been on the orbiting laboratory since last June, when their original ride — a Boeing Starliner spacecraft — malfunctioned.
-The brainchild behind the building, Ricardo Cano Gwapo Tan, told CNN he always wanted to leave a “big legacy in this mortal world.”
+Safely reaching Earth concluded a trip that, for Williams and Wilmore, has garnered broad interest because of the unexpected nature of their extended stay in orbit and the dramatic turn of events that prevented them from returning home aboard the Boeing Starliner vehicle.
-The 70-something former local politician said he is still a “big kid at heart,” and the resort has always been his playground to create something with a “wow factor.”
+“Welcome home to the Crew-9 astronauts — NASA’s Nick Hague, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. Your dedication and unwavering commitment to space exploration inspires us all,” Boeing Space shared on social platform X after the crew returned home.
-Tan said he dedicated the building to the game fowl industry that employs tens of thousands of people in the Philippines and set his heart on creating the chicken-shaped structure to honor the bird’s importance to the people of Negros.
+Last summer, NASA decided flying the two astronauts home aboard their Boeing Starliner capsule would be too risky, and the space agency opted to fold Williams and Wilmore into the International Space Station’s regular crew rotation. That call is why the pair flew home with Hague and Gorbunov on SpaceX’s Crew-9 capsule.
-Cockfighting, known locally as “sabong,” has been a traditional past time that dates before Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The practice also remains popular in rural parts of Thailand and Indonesia although it is banned in India.
+But the length of the duo’s stay in space is not record-breaking. Williams and Wilmore’s extended mission concluded after 286 days, which is still significantly shorter than the world record of 437 days in orbit held by the late Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov.
-“The fighting cock industry is a billion-peso empire in our province,” Tan said. “The Philippines now has an iconic building that is a source of legacy, pride and honor.”
-There are over 2,000 game fowl breeding farms across Negros Occidental and it has become one of the leading local industries in the province alongside sugar production and swine breeding.
-Millions of pesos are made in cockfighting arenas across the Philippines where rowdy punters cheer on combative chickens duel until one dies, despite protests from animal rights groups.
-Aside from being fierce fighters, Tan said chickens can be “calm yet commanding creatures.”
