Splashdown

After doing my best to keep up with the latest test flight of SpaceX's Dragon capsule (a lot of things seemed to happen at night or while I was at work, but not having slept well last weekend I was up just in time to see the hatch being opened through live streaming), I was able to learn the capsule splashed down in the Pacific, with more weight inside it than there had been on liftoff. I don't know how long it'll be until the next test flight, and I don't know how much longer it'll be until somebody's riding inside, but it does seem like an accomplishment with an evocative conclusion.
