>> BREAKING NEWS ALERT. Protect him >> PROGRAMMING FOR A BREAKING
NEWS UPDATE. AND A MAJOR
MILESTONE AND THE MODERN DAY
SPACE RACE. I’M JULIE
BROUGHTON AND I’M GINGER
GADSEN. THE FIRST ALL-PRIVATE
ASTRONAUT CREW TO FLY TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IS
NOW BACK ON EARTH. YOU SEE
THESE BEAUTIFUL LIVE PICTURES
RIGHT THERE. THAT’S EXACTLY
WHAT WE WANT TO SEE. THESE ARE
PICTURES OF THE SPLASH AND
ABOUT TO HAPPEN AT THE AXIOM
ONE MISSION. IT’S HAPPENING
OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA.
BILLY JUST OFF THE COAST OF
JACKSONVILLE. THE SPACEX CREW
DRAGON CAPSULE TOOK THE 4
MEMBER TEAM TO THE SPACE
STATION AND NOW THEY’RE
BRINGING THEM HOME. WEATHER
DELAYS IN THE SPLASHDOWN ZONE
TURNED 8 DAYS INTO 15 DAYS FOR
THIS TEAM. THEY WERE FINALLY
GIVEN THE OKAY TO UNDOCK FROM
THE SPACE STATION LAST NIGHT
BEGINNING THEIR 16 HOUR
JOURNEY HOME. AND WE’RE ABOUT
TO SEE THAT.
>> WRAPPING UP NOW, AS YOU’RE
LOOKING AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL
LIVE IMAGES OF THE CREW
GETTING READY TO SPLASH DOWN
OFF THE COAST OF JACKSONVILLE.
YEAH, AND WE WERE HERE WHEN
THE CREW LAUNCH FROM KENNEDY
SPACE CENTER ON APRIL 8
MARKING THE FIRST PRIVATE
CHARTER FLIGHT TO THE ORBITING
OUTPOST. THE ISS. NOW THEY
SAID DURING THEIR FAREWELL
CEREMONY THAT THEIR SCHEDULE
IN SPACE WAS AGGRESSIVE
GETTING STRAIGHT TO WORK. AS
SOON AS THEY ARRIVED AT THE
SPACE STATION, THE EX-IM CREWS
SPENT DAYS DOING EXPERIMENTS
ON HEART HEALTH. 18 AND STEM
CELL RESEARCH. OKAY. WE’RE
HEARING NOW THAT THEY ARE LESS
THAN A MINUTE NOW FROM FULL
SPLASHED DOWN INTO THE WATER.
AND THAT’S WHEN YOU’LL KNOW
THINGS HAVE GONE. PERFECT PLAY
IN IT SO FAR. SO GOOD. WE SAW
THE PARACHUTES, THE 4 OF THEM
DEPLOY AND EVERYONE JUST KIND
OF BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF.
AND THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS TRIP
ENDED UP BEING LONGER AS WE
SAID THAN THEY ANTICIPATED.
BUT IT DIDN’T MEAN THEY COULD
DO EXTRA SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY
PACKED UP AND THEY WERE READY
TO COME HOME. BUT A LOT OF
ROGUE WEATHER KEPT THE
SPLASHING DOWN. YEAH, THERE
ARE 7 RECOVERY OPTIONS IN THE
GULF AND ATLANTIC AROUND
FLORIDA. BUT WEATHER WAS BEEN
PROBLEMATIC FOR ALL OF THOSE
FOR THE LAST SEVERAL TIMES
THERE. WE ARE SEEN THE CREW AS
THEY ARE THERE NOW. THE SEATS
DO ROTATE AS THEY ARE
CONTINUING THEIR JOURNEY DOWN
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY’RE AT
THE APPROPRIATE G LEVEL. SO
THAT ALL IS GOOD IN THERE. THE
OUTSIDE OF THE CAPSULE GETS TO
3500 DEGREES. BUT OF COURSE,
THEY ARE KEPT NICE AND
COMFORTABLE INSIDE THERE LOOKS
LIKE THEY’RE ENJOYING THEY’RE
COOL, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, AND
THEY WERE CLEAR ABOUT NOT
BEING CALLED SPACE TOURS
BECAUSE THEY PERFORMED MANY,
MANY SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS ABOUT
25 OF THEM EQUALING ABOUT 100
HOURS OF SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
AND WE WILL ALL GET THE
BENEFIT UP WHAT THEY DID UP
THERE IN SPACE. IT WILL BE
HAVING REALLY NICE TO HEAR IT.
HAVE TO SAY. AND THERE’S THAT
SPLASH DOWN.
