the drone view after the splash down is poetic and surreal! 1:37:32 : that is a sculpture in light - captures the magic of humanity. for the 4 people who has been risking their lives... trusting everything on the crew for all these years... calling "mission complete" - setting in motion the "recovery mission" for the crew and there by the next steps - sighing "ok... now back home into the future..."☕ - this is it. this is the proof that as a team - humans can do a lot for this world because we put the heart into it!

I like how the seats in the capsule say "WARNING 1.21 GIGAWATTS" Great Scott!

Thanks for putting this on YouTube! 😊 I always get chills (the good kind) watching SpaceX crewed capsule recovery operations, partly because the high-quality coverage helps me appreciate the magnitude of the endeavor, and partly because the every mission brings us closer to setting foot on the Moon and/or Mars. 😊

1:42:40 technology has certainly come a long way, night shots are super clear, drone flight & camera excellent view bringing us even closer to operations than ever well spent SpaceX.
