A SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico in the early morning hours Sunday, returning four astronauts from the International Space Station. The Crew Dragon Resilience spacecraft undocked from the station at 8:35 pm EDT Saturday (0035 GMT Sunday) and splashed down off the coast from Panama City, Florida, at 2:56 am EDT (0656 GMT) Sunday.
