Bob Hines, a Crestwood High School graduate, was the pilot on SpaceX Crew-4 Mission.

The roughly six-month mission, from April 27- October 14, 2022, was completed when the capsule splashed into the Atlantic Ocean.

“What it feels like the sound should be is kerplunk,” Hines said. “Because you can actually feel the capsule just kind of bob down into the water and pop back up.”

He, Congressman Matt Cartwright and NASA Administrator Bill Nelson visited the WVIA Studios for a talk with students about outer space and scientific advances of the future.
