After a nine-month, 286-day journey, the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying four astronauts, including Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, successfully splashed down. However, the return was marred by an unexpected geographical error: the landing site was reported as the 'Gulf of America' instead of the Gulf of Mexico. This humorous mistake sparked online discussions and raised questions about mission details.
