Splashdown
 
If Buzz could take a swing at people for calling moon stuff fake, I want to see those same people do it to these Astronauts now, they are younger and stronger :P

I was under the impression that the exact location of splashdown was impossible to determine ahead of time and they would have to conduct a search. I was surprised to see that apparently there's something with a camera already nearby.
Not nearby at all, just very very powerful telescopes on the SAR aircraft, they were able to see its descent the whole way down.

Just a common HUMANITY W. When Humanity puts its mind to it, we can do literally anything. We could and we will conquer the stars, we are just too good when we try. Universe gave us the debuff of being sometimes retarted, otherwise this shit is on ez mode
