@ChrisSembroski SpaceX’s @whoisheartbreak emphasizes that the U.S. Coast Guard has established a safety zone around the splashdown site.
"We want to stress to the public the need to respect the safety zone. Recovering a spacecraft from the water is a hazardous operation."

@ChrisSembroski @whoisheartbreak @rookisaacman Resilience's nosecone is now closing, which SpaceX’s @andytran_sm notes is then secured "by a set of hooks."
@ChrisSembroski @whoisheartbreak @rookisaacman @andytran_sm There will be a "blackout period" in communications for about 7 minutes after the nosecone is closed.
@ChrisSembroski @whoisheartbreak @rookisaacman @andytran_sm SpaceX mission control says the nosecone is "secure for entry," which Isaacman confirms from Resilience.
@ChrisSembroski @whoisheartbreak @rookisaacman @andytran_sm SpaceX mission control to the #inspiration4 crew:
"Tracking no issues. Deorbit burn was right down the middle"
"We're looking forward to having you here shortly."

@ChrisSembroski @whoisheartbreak @rookisaacman @andytran_sm The expected reentry communications blackout period begins, which will last for ~7 minutes.
