    Space X has splashed down

    I honestly thought they had returned before now.
    Cool splash down and boat's welcoming home the crew.
    Go to 6:24:00 for capsule footage.


    I took a couple of screen shots from the NASA vid of boaters welcoming the crew home.

    Yeah, I remember watching the missions on TV when I was young, it was incredible. Even set up my 35mm camera and took pics of the TV screen when the first Shuttle landed. I remember watching the 747 fly over Lake Charles with the Shuttle on piggyback during the early days of the Shuttle program.
    I wonder what those people at Mission Command thought of the boat with the Trump flag flying.

    What I thought was crazy (didn't know they did this) is the primary parachutes cut loose and it free fell for a few seconds until the secondary chutes opened. What a nail biter that would be!

    Said they were "shocked" by all the pleasure boaters in the "landing zone" after it splashed down. LoL
