I almost missed it. Acccording to the tv's guide, they will rerun in the same time frame for the next couple of days if anyone missed it.

Glad the weather was perfect and they splashed down safely.

The private boats in the area flying political flags were kind of funny as they got their camera time. There must be about twenty private boats in the area watching. Space X might to rethink announcing where the capsules will be landing.

It cracks me up that they refer to the astronauts as Bob and Doug. I just keep thinking “Bob and Dougs’ Excellent Adventure” lol.

Having watched this sort of thing since childhood, my husband was surprised at the lack of helicopters and frogmen from the days of old.  I was equally surprised at all the private boats in the area.  That never would've happened back then.  You probably would've been arrested if you came within even a mile of a splashdown site or recovery carrier.
