It was the first splashdown by U.S. astronauts in 45 years, with the first commercially built and operated spacecraft to carry people to and from orbit.
After a six-month stay on the International Space Station, members of the crew six mission aboard the SpaceX crew Dragon capsule actually made splashdown when they landed off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida.
And just as I reach the pond again, watch how I shoot my feet out in front of me and use them for the splashdown, as though they were a pair of water skis!
