Nothing? Wow.
If they had disintegrated on re-entry, it would be the biggest story on the planet.

NASA is us, the American people, and I wish we spent national treasure on NASA space travels, rather than those that glorify the billionaire caste.

Picture perfect!
They landed to the minute of their splashdown time - 8:07 EDT - and within a mile of the bullseye in a large target zone.

I wonder if Lewzer will give all of them Presidential Trinkets of Freedom, or just the one, true, non-DEI, American hero.
