In one month, America will mark the 250th anniversary of its founding.

Like previous anniversaries, there is a deep unease about this.

I feel a deep unease about these celebrations to which I am invited to mark the 250th anniversary of our so-called democracy.

Each day the war goes on, the hatred increases, though the cause of evil prosper.

May we all just be space geeks tonight.

You know, that's the beauty of it.

Well, it was, they called it a bullseye splashdown.

They came down right where they were supposed to.

The conditions were perfect.

The conditions in the water, the waves were perfect.

And then the funniest thing happened.

The simple radio communications broke down.

So it wasn't, the mission control could speak to the astronauts and mission control could speak to the naval rescuers, but the Navy rescuers couldn't speak to the astronauts.

So they literally said things like, are you hitting your push to talk button?

You know, kind of like in the old days when IT would tell you to reboot the computer.

Right.

And the mission controller, Reed Weissman, the commander, he's an Air Force test pilot.

So that delayed them a little bit.

But what you're about to see now is something called the front porch.

It'll be a raft that comes off of the module.
