CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—SpaceX safely returned four astronauts from the International Space Station on Sunday, making the first U.S. crew splashdown in darkness since the Apollo 8 moonshot.
The Dragon capsule parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Panama City, Florida, just before 3 a.m., ending the second astronaut flight for Elon Musk’s company.
It was an express trip home, lasting just 6 1/2 hours.
The astronauts, three American and one Japanese, flew back in the same capsule—named Resilience—in which they launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in November. MORE
Probably the first all gay crew, too. Fabulous.
Interesting:
The astronauts’ capsule, Resilience, will head back to Cape Canaveral for refurbishment for SpaceX’s first private crew mission in September. The space station docking mechanism will be removed, and a brand new domed window put in its place.
A tech billionaire has purchased the entire three-day flight, which will orbit 75 miles (120 kilometers) above the space station. He’ll fly with a pair of contest winners and a physician assistant from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, his designated charity for the mission.
Like Norm MacDonald would say, “Those spacesuits aren’t gay enough!”
Because NASA is currently focusing on diversity.

Any chance with Kamala in charge that SpaceX will get pushed aside and prohibited from future flights? Elon Musk has been red pilled. Meanwhile, Bezos’ space company “Blue Origin” has a more appropriate name and needs help getting…up.
All for equity dontcha know! 🚀
