Four astronauts from four different countries successfully returned to Earth with SpaceX after completing a six-month mission at the International Space Station. The crew, consisting of members from the United States, Denmark, Japan, and Russia, made a predawn splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico near the Florida Panhandle.

The returning crew, led by a NASA astronaut who is a Marine helicopter pilot, had been aboard the space station since August of last year. Their replacements arrived just last week in another SpaceX capsule.
