Watch Live: NASA Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley arrive in Houston after their successful Demo-2 mission.

Plane has arrived!

Bob and Doug are walking no problem!

Doug: This has been quite the odyssey the last 5, 6, 7, 8 years. To be where we are now is just quite unbelievable.

Doug jokes that they made good use of the sat phone. Points to someone in the crowd and says to send them the bill (I'm guessing it was Elon).

@IridiumBoss do astronauts get a discount? 😂

Bob notes that they are happy that they were able to accomplish the test mission objectives while still helping out with activities on the Space Station.

@JimBridenstine: We've got to get Starliner flying, we've got to get Orion flying, and we've got to get Starship flying.

@JimBridenstine: I sent a tweet and I said that its time to deliver. I want to tell you @elonmusk that you responded absolutely magnificently, and you have in fact delivered. You have delivered beyond what anyone would have expected.

@elonmusk: I just wanted to see Bob and Doug to be totally frank. My entire adrenaline just dumped. Thank god. I'm not very religious, but I prayed for this one.
