Their SpaceX capsule parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico, just hours after leaving the International Space Station. Splashdown occurred off the coast of Tallahassee in the Florida Panhandle, in the US, bringing their unplanned odyssey to an end. It all started with a flawed Boeing test flight last spring. The two expected to be gone just a week or so after launching on Boeing’s new Starliner crew capsule on June 5.
