SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft has successfully returned to Earth after its historic 1st mission
The spacecraft also returned 300 pounds of cargo to Earth, including several experiments from the ISS, radiation monitors, and a faulty piece of a spacesuit that had failed in orbit a few years ago.
With its successful return to Earth, SpaceX can now herald the entire mission as a complete success. Aside from being a milestone for SpaceX, this is a huge milestone for American human spaceflight too.
