This is really cool.

After a 9-month stay in space, Crew 9 returned in SpaceX's Dragon capsule.

But it gets even cooler. As the astronauts touched down, a pod of curious dolphins swam up to greet the returning astronauts.

SERIOUSLY, HOW COOL IS THIS?

What an incredible moment.

The astronauts then emerged, feeling full Earth gravity for the first time in almost a year.

One of the most inspiring and heartwarming moments of the year. Surely this is a bipartisan moment everyone can celebrate, right?

Eh, probably not.
