    (Note the article was written 2 days ago, so some weather information could be out of date)

    But there will be a teleconference with the crew, starting in just a few minutes from the writing:

    Looks like that is the case: as of 1133 EDT, undocking has proceeded, and splashdown is still scheduled for 1448 EDT today.

    Splashdown as planned, upright in the water, fast boats closing in on the capsule, astronauts in the water!

    Great to see the US is again able to go and return from space on its own. I hope this spurs more interest to develop human space exploration.

    Fortunately, great weather on that side of the state. It was nice to have such a good view of both sets of successful chute deployments too.
