They've picked it up on a low-res thermal cam streaking across the sky....
Should reestablish comms in a minute or two..

And a nice clean splashdown!
And as a nice bonus - this missions has raised more than $150 million dollars for St. Jude's Childrens Hospital.

Recovery boats look to be only a couple hundred meters away from the splashdown.... Pretty good targeting!
Boats are moving in now.

That's when you break out the emergency iPad, and get on YouTube.

By the time the SAR teams are called, it's already a very bad day. :-(
They're doing the outside inspections for explosive safeing and hypergolic leak checks... They should be getting the recovery ship up close and winch the capsule aboard over the next hour.

My partner's dad was part of the recovery teams for the Mercury missions. His C-119 was patrolling an area in case they went off course. They were to push out life rafts and supplies until the ships got there.
He also did SAR in 'nam. Those he would NOT talk about.

They're estimating two things;
First, that lifting the capsule should commence in the next 10 minutes.
Second, that in the last 90 minutes, viewers have donated an additional $7,000,000 to St. Jude's Childrens Hospital.
Now's not a bad time to send 'em a few bucks.

Inspiration 4 Dragon is in the "nest" on the deck of the recovery vessel... They'll be opening the side hatch shortly. You know... to see if the human crew returned, or if they've been replaced with their alternate time-line Ape counterparts.

A few hours ago, Elon Musk tweeted that he's "in for $50M" to bring the total donations to St. Jude's to $210 Million for this flight.
The bitching that he didn't donate more, or to your pet cause, may now commence.
