If all goes as planned, Dragon will arrive at the station approximately two days after liftoff. Dragon is expected to return to Earth approximately five weeks later for a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of southern California

I understood it to mean they were going to catch the booster that fell off after 2 minutes.
I understand physics, but it just seems impossible outside of a vacuum, with variable wind speeds, and the poor aerodynamics of a tumbling hunk of metal.

The rocket is landing today. The capsule in 5 weeks.
