Back at the end of May,erotice massage los angeles spunk SpaceX became the first private company to launch NASA astronauts into space. Now, astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are back home.
In a process that kicked off on Saturday, Aug. 1, Behnken and Hurley made preparations for their return trip aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule that carried them to the International Space Station on May 30. The capsule's Sunday afternoon splashdown marked the end of the company's first successful crewed mission.
You can watch NASA's stream of the event right here:
The two astronauts boarded the Crew Dragon capsule and secured themselves inside on Saturday afternoon. In the hours that followed, they undocked from the ISS and continued to orbit the Earth as the capsule slowly moved away from the station to prepare for a descent into the atmosphere.
The quiet period spanning Saturday night into Sunday afternoon ended shortly before 2:00 p.m. ET, when the capsule started making its final descent back to Earth. During that final leg of the journey, the capsule jettisoned unnecessary components (that burn up during re-entry) and, not long after, released a series of parachutes to keep the speed of the descent under control.
The capsule splashed down somewhere off the coast of Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola at 2:48 p.m. ET. A number of possible landing sites were selected, but with a hurricane (or a tropical storm at the very least) approaching Florida's east coast, the Pensacola site made the most sense.

In a cool bit of trivia, NASA noted on Twitter that the landing marks the space agency's first crew recovery at sea since 1975. This is also apparently the first astronaut landing ever in the Gulf of Mexico, as astronomer Jonathan McDowell told The Washington Post.
