SpaceX Dragon Returns From ISS

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, which has been docked at the International Space Station since early June, has successfully splashed down in the Pacific, in the first re-flight of a complete spacecraft to and from the ISS. The SpaceX Dragon splashed down around 5:15 a.m. this morning after departing the ISS early Monday morning. The Dragon had originally been scheduled to leave the ISS on Sunday morning, but the return of the Dragon was shifted a day due to rough seas in the Pacific.
