SpaceX's Polaris Dawn crew is home, capping off a five-day mission to orbit which included the world's first commercial spacewalk by splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Crew Dragon capsule carrying four astronauts landed off the coast of Dry Tortugas, Florida, at 3:37 a.m. ET Sunday.
The Polaris Dawn mission made history as it reached a higher altitude than any human has traveled in five decades. A spacewalk conducted early Thursday morning also marked the first time such an endeavor has been completed by a privately funded and operated mission. #CNN #News
