Splash down, It would be neat if they could use the net thing that they use for the space parts.

Note: this is not SpaceX

Just came in from watching that one, it took off a LOT faster than the others.

When they brought down/back, his first space ship (call it what ever) and landed it on a barge off of Cape Canaveral they launched from....., it was like science fiction to me!

Amazing.

I believe this is what the planned recovery is via parachutes and splashdown into the sea, then load capsule onto ship, some 200 miles offshore

then the two astronauts will be brought back to land in a helicopter

I heard speedboats will be the first to arrive at the capsule to be sure the astronauts are safe and the ship can safely come close to capsule....the capsule has rocket fuel which is harmful
