Watch NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 splashing safely back down to Earth

Last week, we watched NASA safely launch SpaceX’s Crew-4 to the ISS — and now, Crew-3 is back on dry land.

Earlier this morning NASA broadcast the return of astronauts Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, Kayla Barron, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer, who landed safely off the coast of Florida in the early hours of Friday morning after spending six months carrying out research on the International Space Station.

You can watch the full feed above, or jump to 49:00 to see the landing.
