HI! I’m DJ and I want story about 4 Astronauts back safely to Earth with SpaceX

After six long months at International Space Station (ISS), SpaceX safely brought home four astronauts to Earth.

On May 2, the SpaceX Dragon capsule parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico just before 3 a.m.

The trip back to Earth from the ISS required just 6 ½ hours and is the first ocean splashdown during dark since Apollo 8 in 1968.

NASA astronauts (3) Shannon Walker, Victor Glover and Michael Hopkins, (+) Japan astronaut Soichi Noguchi, have been at the ISS since November.

They were meant to return to Earth on April 28, but had to wait because bad weather.

They decided to leave ISS late Saturday night and began traveling toward Earth’s atmosphere.

This is the first time astronauts have finished a non-test trip in a spacecraft owned by a private CO “rather than” a government.

The success of this trip could soon allow for normal people to visit space also.

The capsule will be brought to Cape Canaveral, Florida, for fix so it can be used in the first-ever space travel for regular people in September.

A rich billionaire finish pay for a three-day flight, that will orbit 120 km above the ISS.

NASA plans send more astronauts to space inside SpaceX capsule in October.
