SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule splashes down in Gulf of Mexico safely with 4 astronauts

Colombo (News 1st) - The SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday with four astronauts who had been manning the International Space Station over the last five months, a rare night-time return of a spacecraft.

Rescue ships quickly reached the capsule whose two male and two female astronauts - 2 U.S., 1 Russian and 1 Japanese - breathed their first fresh air in 160 days. They left Earth last October and handed over the station to a new crew before returning.
