The teams of specialists who make these high end parachutes are truly amazing at their craft. The responsibility of the chutes in helping astronauts survive reentry cannot be overestimated with this design of return craft. The teams and chute makers deserve a great round of applause from the World. Give it up people!!!

[@user-gz4fj2xu7k]

Shook our house in Central Florida due to the sonic boom upon re-entry.

[@toddmoore5275]

Thank You for telling us and for your endurance of the reentry conditions. I wish I heard it!

[@Rich-ey7jv]

Boom in Oviedo!

[@toddmoore5275]

Whether it’s a glider return or a chute deployment or aero braking or the lil drogue chutes or the winglets to direct a booster reentry it’s amazing to see what we do to provide slowdown and braking maneuvers

[@braddowns17]

It's amazing four chutes don't get tangled at all or at least cross over one another

[@WhattuppB]

​@@braddowns17 Was just thinking the same thing. They have to be designed in a way for that not to happen

[@braddowns17]

Looks pretty charred. Hope the crew took their Dramamine they're bobbing like a cork, some pretty good swells there.

[@DCrypt1]

What do you expect, it's a return capsule not one of the visitor/man-made UFOs.

[@braddowns17]

@@DCrypt1 didn't expect anything. It's just a statement that it looks pretty charred.

[@DCrypt1]

@@braddowns17 Wasn't being confrontational at all mate, I also noticed how burnt up and nasty the ceramic heat shield looks after only one re-entry lol. My comment was more critical of the MIC and Uncle Sam. Bobbing helplessly like a cork was also what came to mind. Shame it's 2024 not the 1950s.

[@braddowns17]

@@DCrypt1 sorry about that. That's the problem with online you don't get the personal feel for things and they can sound different than how they were meant. Deleted last line

thank you for the video! amazing what views we are getting now with the drones

[@ginamiller269]

Welcome home AX-3 crew ! enjoying to see your guys aren't packed on a stretcher as soon as egress. Been not neccessary for these strong and healthy guys I think ! Good to see the AX-3 crew happily home again !

[@keithsweat7513]

I appreciate all this and love Space X! But Neil, Buzz and Collins were in a raft 3 minutes after splash and by this time they were on the USS Hornet shaving and eating a roast beef sandwich! Dang were a sensitive lot these days

[@riggiep.7108]

I saw this on another channel and thought the same. With all the technology of today, rescue team could have been waiting 50 feet from the programmed splash down site, not 20 minutes away. I hope next one shall be faster. I also think that the Atlantic isn't the right ocean to get down, all with those rogue waves that can raise up at any moment.

[@raybeauvais296]

We used up all of our "luck" on Apollo. Attention to detail and caution is what we have to rely on now.

[@billrobinson9308]

Is there a video of the docking and release from the ISS … that should be interesting

[@BASLMBK]

strange too.. The sea moves, but the helmets don't move from the movements of the sea? The images on the right from the capsule are not in sync with the seascapes on the left. The arm movements seem to be like they are weightless still?? strange. After all, they have the same law of gravity as outside the capsule... SOMETHING isn't right

[@LouisianaCoullion1990]

At what altitude do these capsules create the sonic boom everyone talks about?

[@Joker4us]

Love it saw it live

It can be safer when every airplane will have special parachutes for emergency landing.

Find a need and fill it . in this case your on to something Per-sue it Elon has a couple buck s to throw around apparently… while the world burns

what is taking this video then, a drone?

[@BASLMBK]

WHO took the movie that was black and white?? Why weren't pictures from inside the cab shown when they landed or when the screen was unfolded?'In the black and white picture, the screens didn't unfold at the same time? What about those clown-like helmets that don't have an oxygen supply, not to mention the highly civilian riding boots? When photographed in the water, the top part was closed, but when the parachutes were deployed, you could see straight up through the camera?

Seems that square does more damage , more time consuming than one could calculate. Continue dramatic usage of the square will prolong your experience. These people and scientists are not intuned with their source. BBE (blonde-blue eyed) BBE loves to produce sci-fi films. So why would you travel into space in a powered box? Why does the white boy love to use his box so much? On earth he loves to be in his secured box and in space he thinks the box will help him travel through void. Why would you travel through space in a box that you’ll have to rely on its battery bank? Not sustainable. BBE refuses to put in the work using his own heart beat. Yet he creates movies with in urban characters as if he’s hiding his true nature inside the box and only can be himself if it’s on TV. And everyone’s still watching movies?
