SpaceX Crew Dragon To Splash Down Tonight Near Pensacola; Here’s How To See It In The Sky
November 8, 2021
The SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft is set to splash down in the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola at 9:33 tonight.
With clear skies in the forecast, there’s a pretty good chance to see the capsule return from across the area. Look to the southwest sky beginning about 9:20 p.m. It will start high up and look like a streak of yellow or white light. A sonic boom may be heard.
The capsule is returning to earth from the International Space Station.

How neat! We saw it just now!
Im out here on my yacht. Dark skies awaiting its return. Amazing to watch this again. All hopes for a great return to earth
I watched the first recovery of the Dragon capsule and I was thoroughly underwhelmed. It sure isn’t like watching an Apollo capsule come down. I guess this is the way of the future.
I’m sure everyone who owns a boat will be headed that way I can only think of one thing and that is who might be in the direct path of splasdown I think I will stay at home that would be the smart thing to do ? I’m sure the coast guard is standing by with search and rescue.
From working on boats most of my life I do know how to look where the recovery vessels are. South of the FloraBama would be a good place to be looking.
