CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Four space station astronauts returned to Earth late Saturday after a quick SpaceX flight home. Their capsule splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico just off the Florida coast near Tampa.The U.S.-Russian-Japanese crew spent five months at the International Space Station, arriving last October.

Their replacements arrived more than a week ago.“That was one heck of a ride,” Mann radioed moments after splas...
