SpaceX’s crew of private astronauts has spent its first two days in space chatting with children, conducting research and taking in views of the planet hundreds of miles away.
On Saturday, the Elon Musk-led company plans to return members of the Inspiration4 mission to Earth, bringing back the Crew Dragon spacecraft that is carrying them in orbit in a splashdown landing off the coast of Florida. The ship is expected to land just after 7 p.m. ET Saturday, or roughly three days after take off, according to the company.
