FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The SpaceX Crew Dragon "Endeavour" is on its way back to Earth with astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley. If all goes well, the splashdown will mark the completion of a successful first flight of the commercial crew era. The astronauts radioed in from inside the capsule that they were feeling good. A recovery team has begun the process of extracting the crew from the capsule, while the astronauts run some final checks. Behnken and Hurley undocked from the International Space Station Saturday (Aug. 1), where they'd spent the two months since the May 30 launch. This mission with its two-astronaut crew has served primarily as a test of SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, to make sure that it's safe and effective for future full-capacity use.
