Interesting effect of @NASA @Commercial_Crew program is the astronaut crew talks by radio with two mission controls: #NASA in Houston, Texas and #SpaceX in Hawthorne, California. As with previous splashdowns, Hawthorne told #Crew6 astronauts, "Thanks for flying SpaceX". 😀

From last night (my broadband went down again last night during the webcast) ...

SpaceX: "Splashdown of Dragon confirmed – welcome back to Earth, Steve, @Astro_Woody, Andrey, and @Astro_Alneyadi!"

"#Crew6 Returns Safely to Earth after Splashdown" by @NASA / @Commercial_Crew - 4 astronauts of #Crew6 (🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇪🇷🇺) returned safely to Earth from 6-month deployment on International Space Station https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2023/09/04/crew-6-returns-safely-to-earth-after-splashdown/ #NASA #SpaceX #CrewDragon #space

Crew egress from #CrewDragon #Endeavour marks a successful end to 6-month #NASA #Crew6 mission for the 4 astronauts and the ground support staff. Astronauts are routinely given assistance with re-adjustment to 1G force of gravity. #SpaceX #space

It never gets old. Welcome home #Crew6! Congratulations on a successful mission!

Apparently SpaceX is no longer going to livestream on YouTube, just on the deadbird site. No thanks.
