All right, thanks, Scott Chanon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.

Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free.

Our number is 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, less than two hours.

And we expect the astronauts that had been stranded for 286 days to return to Earth, just as the end of, as this program ends today.

The flight plan began with a half-minute de-orbit thruster firing.

That started, you know, well, this will happen later today, but they began.

It's a 17-hour journey.

And with crew nine commander and a cosmonaut involved, launched to the station last September

aboard the same space X crew dragon capsule carrying all four of them home.

Now, it called for an automated seven and a half minute deorbit thruster starting at 5.11 p.m. to slow down for a re-entry.

After what is called or described as a 27-minute free fall, the spacecraft is expected to plunge back into the discernible atmosphere for the final 12 minutes of descent, making a parachute-assisted splash down off the Florida Panhandle Gulf Coast.

A few minutes before 6 p.m. tonight is we're basically going off this radio program.

Elon Musk will be on Hannity tonight. We'll talk about all of this with him.

A SpaceX recovery ship will be stationed nearby. They will haul the spacecraft on board so the crew can be helped out of the crew's

drive the crew dragons cabin and onto stretchers for initial medical checks.

Now there are just for your awareness, astronauts have a lot of health issues that they

face as SUNY Williams and and Butch Wilmore are finally getting their unexpected nine-month

stay in space, but their health journey will just begin on Earth.

This is not an easy transition.

They may face a variety of health problems.

They may face weaker bones and muscles.

They might have vision issues.
