SpaceX astronauts aiming for first splashdown in 45 years off US coast

The first astronauts launched by Elon Musk's SpaceX company have departed the International Space Station for the final and most important part of their test flight: returning to Earth with a rare splashdown.

It will be the first splashdown for astronauts in 45 years — the last time was following the joint US-Soviet mission in 1975 known as Apollo-Soyuz. "The hardest part was getting us launched, but the most important is bringing us home," Behnken said several hours before strapping into the Dragon.A successful splashdown, Behnken said, would bring US-crew launching capability "full circle".The next SpaceX crew flight is targeted for the end of September.

Who corrects the edits the, '45 years'? Other news media(s) make no mention of this time period. Is any other news wrong?

Astronauts? Indigenous Americans? Or non-indigenous Americans like ethnic Europeans, Africans, and Asians since first contact by foreign White Latino Europeans?

If I were them I'd want to stay of there

Do two close encounters mean more sharks in Tasmanian waters?There have been two high profile shark encounters in Tasmanian waters in less than a fortnight — does it mean there are more of the apex predators off the island's coast? Well, we have fucked up the oceans, so who is surprised that they are coming after us every chance they get. We are just food to them! Nope it just means more people in the shark's home I think this might go some way to explain the second incident, 'they were observing a seal colony'.
