AWESOME.... welcome home guys.

[@lj5899]

THAT was an amazing perspective on re-entry/splashdown. THANK YOU Crew7 & SpaceX.

[@nushi7515]

Welcome back to earth Commander J. Moghbeli. Iranians all over the world are proud of you and your bravery as well as your highest achievement as astronaut. I know that you do not represent Iran in this mission, but I wished you could have said in Farsi (WOMAN LIFE LIBERTY: زن زندگی آزادی ) for millions of your Iranian admirers and well wishers who followed your mission faithfully for the last 6 months or watched your safe splash in Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola, Fl. before dawn today. God bless you & your family and brave Iranian women.

Welcome to Earth ✋💐

Welcome to Florida, it's separate from Earth.

Perfekt "Splach down" .. Welcome back home everyone.. Thank's for sharing ❤

[@DeadtomGCthe2nd]

God speed to those astronauts and SpaceX. Boeing, get your shit together and get up there.

[@nushi7515]

Shame on you! Hard working engineers at Boeing made our world smaller and easy for everyone to fly around our earth. They shouldn't be blamed even God makes mistakes like earthquakes, flooding, tsunamis, etc. Can you get it?

[@twogamer7149]

Is the camera tracking manual? That would be quite a good focus job.

[@retrojet]

EXCELLENT!!! And fantastic camera tracking... Well Done, All!!!

[@bioneergreenenergy1614]

after the third and fourth parachutes opened, it's an amazing dance together, can you mention the right song played as simulating the scene, just increasing the playback speed one can imagine

I saw it go by while pouring concrete in Philadelphia MS awesome sight!

[@williammurray1341]

Ambient, natural or visible wave length videography.

[@DavidEsp1]

Superb! Dramatic and intriguing to see it "falling upwards" (paradoxically, from our POV). Fantastic also to have such detailed thermal, from start to finish.

[@stargazer7644]

Falling upwards? It's passing overhead.

[@DavidEsp1]

@@stargazer7644 Poetic license. I understood the physics and orientation (and spheroid shape of planet), I just felt it unneccessary to state explicitly that it merely _appeared_ as if falling upwards, having added "from our POV" (which, as purely a flat visual frame, lacked any sense of depth or context of curvature). Illusion.

[@dredlock3000]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@MrNICOYA2009]

It was more awe when the space shuttles returned and landed on earth instead of splashing. This kind of ships are from the 60’ so it is cool only for the youngsta.

What sparking material was coming off the dragon?

[@TheKep]

Probably superheated particles of the heat shielding. It’s made to wear away as friction heats it up.

I am in Oklahoma and wished so much I had seen Elon's Dream fly past. I am so incredibly proud of his dreams for Humanity. Thank you to all who work so hard to better Humanity.

[@albertahalkias8283]

Why can’t they get closer to them so it won’t take so long to get them on the ship

[@stargazer7644]

Because it would be a very bad day if they hit one of the ships instead of the water.

[@NavyVet4955]

The landing area is a general area to expect the capsule to land, too many variables to give a pinpoint spot it will hit. You position the recovery vessels nearby and get to the capsule as fast as you can.

the re-entry ship is actively on fire and this chick says that the parachutes are not deployed... no kidding. the other chick says wonky and cannot describe what she is saying on camera. id imagine that if I were announcing/commentating this event, I would actually know what I'm talking about .

You call it a capsule when are you going to start calling them a spacecraft...........astronauts hate it when you call his spacecraft a capsule.

[@Vortex-gz8se]

How do you know astronauts hate it when you call their spacecraft a capsule?

[@feelincrispy7053]

It's not a space craft though. It's a capsule

[@jarrensmith1060]

Actually im pretty sure its the opposite of what you said, they hate it when the iss is refered to as anything besides a space craft or sattelite. Most astronauts don't even refer to it as a capsule they call it a reentry vehicle.
