Hello, everyone. Welcome to Nightly Scroll. I am starting the show off tonight with breaking news. As of three minutes ago, the astronauts who were stranded in space for nine months just landed off the coast of Florida. I'm going to bring you the updates as we get them. And we have the video here from NASA, the capsule, the SpaceX NASA capsule just landed in the water.
Splashed down two minutes ago. We'll listen in here. Dragon Freedom has returned home with NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Sonny Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov. They're back on Earth after approximately 17 hours of a return journey from space.
The SpaceX recovery ship and team have been waiting for Dragon's splashdown, and they will now make their way to the splashdown location. The teams have been ready and waiting about three nautical miles away, so it's going to take them about 30 minutes or so to make their way to... Copy, stable one.
We see the same.
This is very exciting. So on board here are members of the crew nine who left for the International Space Station nine months ago. They went down in June or when they went up in June, I should say rather, and they were only supposed to stay there for eight days. And they were there for nine months. There were a lot of issues going back and forth.
Some of them might have been political, and a lot of them had to do with technical difficulties with the Boeing Starliner that they went up on. They couldn't take that Starliner home. Elon Musk had another craft, but then there were issues with that just days ago. It's been very, very tense.
You know, I last week on the show, I played a video from Butch Wilmore's daughter, Darren, who's been pretty outspoken on social media about, you know, how much she misses her dad. And she talked about all the things that he had missed holidays while he was up there for nine months. And she talked about how excited she was at the prospect of him returning home this week.
And I'm so happy to report that Elon Musk has made this happen along with NASA. So very, very exciting news here. There is... I just feel so much joy. This is this is an amazing day for America. This shouldn't have been political. These astronauts, they have been up there conducting experiments and, you know, they shouldn't have been up there that long.
But I'm so, so happy that they have returned home. This was the capsule that you're seeing right now is the SpaceX Dragon capsule. It was expected to crash down or splash down, as you see right here. If we could pull that video up again. at 5.57, and it was right on time. It was right on time, so now the crews are coming to retrieve them. Very, very exciting. And this all started just on Sunday.
