NASA Astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley - who are aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft - have successfully splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida.
This is the first splash down to occur for 45 years.

The return journey took 19 hours in total - with the duo undocking from the International Space Station at around 7:35pm ET.
As of this writing, the recovery team is on its way to the Dragon now in fast boats.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has already taken to Twitter to celebrate Bob and Doug's successful return to Earth, writing: "Dragon is stable in the water".

Upon their return, the shuttle reached such an enormous speed that it caused a sonic boom.
The pair made history when they left Earth for the International Space Station back on May 30. Not only were they the first people to launch into low-Earth orbit on a commercial spacecraft that was built by SpaceX, but their mission, named Demo-2, was the first time NASA had launched astronauts from the US in nine years.
Both Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley are experienced astronauts and engineers who joined NASA after achieving the rank of colonel as military pilots, but their lives and careers have closely mirrored each other's for two decades.
Both men were selected as astronauts back in 2000, and the pair also both met their wives - who are also astronauts and part of NASA's class of 2000 - while undergoing space training.
Doug and Bob are close friends - they even attended each other's weddings. They both have sons and have been in training together for this mission for five years.
Welcome home, Bob and Doug!
