Historic private spacewalk ends with a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.

A group of space travelers came back to Earth after a five-day trip. They went farther than anyone since the people who walked on the moon.

Their capsule landed in the water near Florida. The crew included a businessman, two SpaceX workers, and a pilot.

During their trip, they did the first private spacewalk. They went even higher than the space station and a powerful telescope.

This spacewalk was special because it wasn't done by professional astronauts. It was a test to see if regular people can work in space.

The mission was paid for by a businessman who wants to explore space. He plans to go on more space trips in the future.
