A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carrying four astronauts back to Earth splashed down off Florida early Sunday, a NASA livestream showed. Seven astronauts remained on the ISS including a new crew of four who arrived on a different SpaceX craft last week. “We’ll see you back on Earth.”Prior to that, two American astronauts made a test mission to the ISS in May and stayed for two months. xThat was the first launch to the ISS from US soil since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. Until then US astronauts had caught rides to the ISS aboard Russian spacecraft.
