Just in from SpaceX and NASA, here's a video of the descent of the Dragon capsule on the morning of May 31, 2012.
Taken from a chase plane, the footage shows the spacecraft's dramatic chute deployment and splashdown into the Pacific at 8:42 a.m. PT, approximately 560 miles southwest off the coast of Los Angeles. The event marked the end of a successful and historic mission that heralds a new era of commercial spaceflight in the U.S.
