Splashdown!   In the ocean off Florida.   It was beautiful seeing them come back through the earth's atmosphere!  Fantastic achievement, and may they be recovered safely.

Perfect splashdown! Crew 9 is now back on Earth in their Space X Dragon spacecraft. Right at the predicted time.

 

Next, teams will lift the craft onto the recovery ship and open the hatch, a process expected to take 30-60 minutes.

We just watched the down and I said to my hubby I am much like I was in 2nd grade when we saw a space capsule return to earth but the coverage is much better 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.
