“The four astronauts of SpaceX’s Crew-12 mission returned to Earth this morning (Oct. 8) after nearly eight months in space. Crew-12’s Crew Dragon capsule, named ‘Freedom,’ undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday morning (Oct. 7) at 8:05 a.m. EDT (1205 GMT), beginning a roughly 27-hour trip back to its home planet. Everything went well during the journey: Freedom splashed down as planned in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Los Angeles today at 11:34 a.m. EDT (1534 GMT).” (10/08/26)
