the'Crude Dragon']. It all took 19 hours to land in the Gulf of Mexico.

As it entered the atmosphere at 28,000 km/h, the external temperature of the capsule soared to a maximum of 1,900 degrees due to frictional heat, and the hump that lost communication for 6 minutes passed safely.

It has been 45 years since US astronauts returned to Earth by sea-going.

Sea return is technically simpler and more efficient than ground return, but it has been used very little recently because of the high risk of flooding.

SpaceX announced that after repairing the Crew Dragon for the next six weeks, this time it will pick up four astronauts and send them back to the International Space Station.
