"America returns To Space" by Mark Karvon, link.

"On May 30, 2020 the Crew Dragon Demo-2 mission was launched carrying NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken to the International Space Station. The rocket and spacecraft were all developed and manufactured by SpaceX. Launching from American soil with American spacecraft it was the first mission to fly as such in 9 years since the Space Shuttle was retired. The SpaceX flight hardware is completely re-usable and equipped with state of the art technology. It marks a new era in American space exploration.

A little while ago, SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endurance spacecraft concluded its Crew-7, or SpaceX Crew-7, mission for NASA by landing without problems. On board were astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli, Andreas Mogensen, and Satoshi Furukawa and cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov, who had reached the International Space Station on August 27, 2023, and were part of Expedition 69/70. The four of them finished the seventh regular crewed mission of SpaceX in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Pensacola, Florida. The Crew Dragon departed the Station a bit more than 18 hours earlier.
