Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Four SpaceX Crew-8 members climbed aboard Crew Dragon Endeavour on Wednesday, closed the hatch and successfully undocked from the International Space Station to begin their 34-hour journey back to Earth. The trip home follows weather delays, scheduling conflicts and more than seven months in space.
The three NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barrett and Jeanette Epps, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Grebenkin, are expected to splashdown early Friday morning, at approximately 3:29 a.m EDT, off the coast of Florida.
