SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft "Resilience" met the waters off the coast of Oceanside, California at 9:19 a.m. local time (12:19 p.m. EDT or 1619 GMT) on Friday (April 4). The landing was the first time that a SpaceX Dragon with astronauts on board splashed down in the Pacific Ocean; the prior crew to do so was NASA's Apollo astronauts as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. The Fram2 crew completed 55 orbits of Earth, traversing the distance between the poles every 46 minutes.</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_fram2_splashdown01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_fram2_splashdown01.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center>
