The two NASA astronauts who rode to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX’s new Crew Dragon are heading home for a Sunday splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, capping a two-month voyage in space that marked NASA’s first crewed mission from home soil in nine years.
Crew Dragon “Endeavor” decoupled from the orbital station at 7:35 p.m. ET carrying astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley ahead of a Sunday afternoon splashdown off the coast of Pensacola, Florida—the first procedure of its kind in a privately built space capsule.
