SpaceX Crew-2's historic mission to International Space Station (36 images)

SpaceX's Crew Dragon returned to Earth with a splashdown near Pensacola, Fla., on November 8, 2021, after completing a six-month mission. The crew lifted off on April 23, carrying four astronauts to the International Space Station. The mission was the first to carry people on a previously flown SpaceX rocket and capsule.
