How did the astronauts return from space?
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Nightly Scroll. I am starting the show off tonight with breaking news. As of three minutes ago, the astronauts who were stranded in space for nine months just landed off the coast of Florida. I'm going to bring you the updates as we get them. And we have the video here from NASA, the capsule, the SpaceX NASA capsule just landed in the water.
Splashed down two minutes ago. We'll listen in here. Dragon Freedom has returned home with NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Sonny Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov. They're back on Earth after approximately 17 hours of a return journey from space.
The SpaceX recovery ship and team have been waiting for Dragon's splashdown, and they will now make their way to the splashdown location. The teams have been ready and waiting about three nautical miles away, so it's going to take them about 30 minutes or so to make their way to... Copy, stable one.
We see the same.
This is very exciting. So on board here are members of the crew nine who left for the International Space Station nine months ago. They went down in June or when they went up in June, I should say rather, and they were only supposed to stay there for eight days. And they were there for nine months. There were a lot of issues going back and forth. Some of them might have been political, and a lot of them had to do with technical difficulties with the Boeing Starliner that they went up on. They couldn't take that Starliner home. Elon Musk had another craft, but then there were issues with that just days ago. It's been very, very tense. You know, I last week on the show, I played a video from Butch Wilmore's daughter, Darren, who's been pretty outspoken on social media about, you know, how much she misses her dad. And she talked about all the things that he had missed holidays while he was up there for nine months. And she talked about how excited she was at the prospect of him returning home this week.
And I'm so happy to report that Elon Musk has made this happen along with NASA. So very, very exciting news here. There is... I just feel so much joy. This is this is an amazing day for America. This shouldn't have been political. These astronauts, they have been up there conducting experiments and, you know, they shouldn't have been up there that long. But I'm so, so happy that they have returned home. This was the capsule that you're seeing right now is the SpaceX Dragon capsule. It was expected to crash down or splash down, as you see right here. If we could pull that video up again. at 5.57, and it was right on time. It was right on time, so now the crews are coming to retrieve them. Very, very exciting. And this all started just on Sunday.
The capsule went up to space and it docked at the International Space Station on Sunday. And it's a 17 hour flight. So the the crew 10 astronauts replaced them on Friday. The NASA officials are set to give a press conference in just an hour and a half to explain just what happened here. All went safely, it seems. So we will keep you updated as the show goes on. But this is very, very exciting to see. Plus, the left is still angry that dangerous gang members have been deported, but the Trump administration shows no signs of slowing down. Former CNN host Don Lemon has gone full libtard. I'll play the clips. All that and so much more coming up on Nightly Scroll. So liberals have been going absolutely insane over Elon Musk.
He pulls off this this splashdown, this rescue mission of these astronauts. I do want to play. I have a video here of them hugging when the crew nine and crew 10 astronauts met each other at the International Space Station this past weekend. Very emotional moment there. They're hugging there. They're so excited to see one another. You can watch this here. That's Sonny Williams. And all the astronauts that are coming to replace them, they come through this this opening and it's just very warm and they're welcoming them. I mean, imagine after nine months not being home, you're on the International Space Station, of course. There's all the resources that you need because people are meant to live at the International Space Station for six months at a time.
