Coming back to Earth

The third longduration team of astronauts launched by SpaceX to the International Space Station for Nasa departed the orbiting outpost early yesterday to begin their descent back to Earth, capping a sixmonth science mission.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carrying three United States Nasa astronauts and a German astronaut from the European Space Agency undocked from the ISS to embark on a return flight expected to last less than 24 hours. — Reuters
