SpaceX Dragon returns to Earth with precious science load

A SpaceX capsule returned to Earth on Wednesday with precious science samples from NASA's one-year space station resident. SpaceX reported a good splashdown, with three red-and-white striped parachutes slowing the final descent. The Dragon had been at the station for a month, dropping off supplies as well as an experimental, inflatable room that will pop open in two weeks. It was set free by the station's big robot arm. "Dragon spacecraft has served us well, and it's good to see it departing full of science," Peake radioed from 250 miles up.
