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



so i guess the fun is over for today. check back in 5 weeks i guess

A splashdow is the term they would continue to use for landing on a barge?

I feel like I'm missing something here

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.
