Default SpaceX Dragon Capsule Splashes Down in Pacific, Ending Historic Test Flight

"The world's first commercial space
cargo ship dove through Earth's
atmosphere and splashed down in
the Pacific Ocean early Thursday
(May 31), ending an historic test
flight to the International Space
Station.

The SpaceX Dragon capsule made
a water landing off the coast of Baja
California, Mexico at 11:42 a.m.
EDT (1542 GMT). Recovery ships
have spotted the capsule and are en
route to collect the vehicle to tow to
Los Angeles."
