After a nine -month stay in the international space station, the two American astronauts finally returned to earth on board a SpaceX capsule. Her bitterness in front of Florida took place under the strange view of dolphins.
After more than nine months in orbit, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore finally found the country … or rather the water of the Gulf of Mexico. Initially for an eight -day mission on board a Boeing ship, the two astronauts American have delayed their return due to technical problems. This Tuesday, March 18, her journey ended with successful hardening off the Florida coast, which was broadcast live by NASA.
Her return was achieved on board a crew dragon capsule, which was designed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX Company. After a 5 -hour journey between the international space station and the earth, the device slowed down its descent thanks to four parachutes before touching the surface of the water.

Unusual moment: At the time of her bitter, dolphins were seen around the capsule, which made the scene almost unreal.
“What an adventure!” Called Nick Hague, who was responsible for the piloting of the capsule and described the “big smile” of his colleagues.
As soon as the water has been extracted from the water, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, accompanied by another American astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut, were released one after the other. Lip smiles, sent great signs to the cameras and marked the end of their long stay.
