Four astronauts return safely to Earth from the International Space Station in a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, parachuting to splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico 🚀

This screengrab shows a crew member from the SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft assisted while exiting the capsule after its return to Earth, after splashdown off the coast of Panama City in the US state of Florida. The crew reported they were feeling well after their arrival back on Earth following a nearly six-month mission aboard the International Space Station, NASA said on Sunday.

Teams aboard the Go Navigator recovery ship retrieved the capsule and hoisted it on to the deck about half an hour later. Commander Michael Hopkins was the first to emerge after the hatch was opened, doing a little jig as he set foot on deck, followed shortly after by fellow NASA astronaut Victor Glover.
