Chief Engineer of SpaceX Elon Musk celebrates the safe return of NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley during a welcome home ceremony at Ellington Field near the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston on Aug. 2, 2020. After spending two months in space for NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission, the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, carrying Hurley and Behnken, splashed down off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico at 2:48 p.m. EDT. Part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, Behnken and Hurley are the first astronauts to launch to the International Space Station from U.S. soil since the end of the shuttle program in 2011. The final flight test for SpaceX, Demo-2 will pave the way for the agency to certify the company’s transportation system for regular, crewed flights to the orbiting laboratory.
