SpaceX Dragon-2 DM-1 mission splashes down in Atlantic Ocean.
After a basically flawless flight, including a four-day stop-over at the ISS, the prototype of the Crewed Dragon spacecraft returned to Earth today in what looked like a flawless splash-down.
The next mission in the line will be the aerial abort test to confirm whether the capsule's ejection system can get the spacecraft clear of an exploding launch-vehicle. Then will come the DM-2 mission, which will be the first US-launched astronauts since the retirement of the Space Shuttle. SpX-DM2 is tentatively scheduled for July although NASA sources say it could be delayed as late as November depending on back-room work required.
