Dragon Endeavour continuing its slow descent.
There we can see splashdown on screen.
Those parachutes are then cut and released.
Dragon Endeavour has now returned home.
They are pretty big and more spread out rolling waves,
but weather-wise I think the crew will like what they feel
when they get out of that capsule today
and take their first breath of fresh air back here on Earth.
Dragon now in the air,
the hydraulic lift being activated
and I love this view because you can see the state of the heat shield.
It did such incredible work during atmospheric re-entry.
I think I see a big smile on his face.
Now being seated in a rolling chair
to help move him back to the medical bay.
Commander Steve Bowen has already egressed
some more applause there on the deck of the recovery vessel.
Dragon splashdown just under an hour ago.
Music.
