On Thursday, a crew of four astronauts—representing France, the United States, and Russia—returned to Earth following an eight-month mission aboard the International Space Station. A SpaceX spacecraft carried the astronauts back, concluding with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Los Angeles.

The crew had hurried to the International Space Station eight months prior to replace an ailing colleague and his crew. During the course of the mission, French astronaut Sophie Adenot achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first French woman to perform a spacewalk.
