A pod of bottlenose dolphins seemingly took interest in the capsule that dropped out of the sky, circling and surfacing as SpaceX team members worked to recover their spacecraft.

Four astronauts were all smiles Tuesday evening when they splashed down off the Florida coast on a SpaceX Dragon capsule. See photos.

Now that NASA Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are back on Earth, when is the next SpaceX manned mission? How about Boeing Starliner? What we know.

NASA removed two astronauts from its Crew-9 mission to allow for Williams and Wilmore to join the cohort, and return onboard the SpaceX Dragon − which carries four people at a time. The altered Crew-9 − only Hague and Gorbunov − launched aboard the SpaceX Dragon Freedom in late September.

NASA is about to give its first press conference just a couple of hours after Crew-9 returned from the space station in a nine-month mission that was only supposed to last eight days.
