'Grand Slam' Space Mission  By: CNN (Posted by Kion Hudson)
(CNN)-- The first commercial mission to the International Space
Station ended Thursday with the SpaceX Dragon capsule splashing
down after a flight the company's founder declared a "grand
slam."  The Dragon drifted beneath parachutes to the surface of
the Pacific Ocean, about 560 miles off Baja California, on
Thursday morning. It hit the water about a mile from its target,
SpaceX founder Elon Musk told reporters.  "This has been a
fantastic day," Musk said, adding, "I'm just overwhelmed with
joy." He said recovery crews have reached the capsule and report
it "looks really good."  Splashdown came at 8:42 a.m. (11:42
a.m. ET), about two minutes earlier than expected, SpaceX and
NASA reported. Musk was on hand at the company's mission control
center near Los Angeles as operators monitored the descent, and
called the mission a "grand slam" in a briefing later Thursday.
