Four green crew members
..."not their complexions but their conditions "
lol
I wouldn't be surprised if they were green after than drop from space.

no sonic boom heard here ....about 150 miles north . It was speculated there might be.

No booms here in San Diego…I’m at the pool with a kids birthday party going on, though…haha!

I love the comment of the announcer "they are happy to be home" and "welcome home"
Home not as in a city, state or country. Home on earth.

Walking on the flight deck from the helicopters three were holding onto people, all had a wheelchair behind them, in case.
Their strides were a little unsteady.....they must feel so heavy, need to adjust to the atmosphere again.

Love that the director of the recovery mission is a woman. She is originally from Colombia, since 10 years old she wanted to be involved in space missions.
