""First and foremost, we are all OK. Everyone on board is stable, safe, and well cared for.""

The Crew Dragon Endeavour undocked from the International Space Station at about 5:20 p.m. EST (2220 GMT) and began descent, with splashdown planned in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast after an almost 11-hour flight. Four astronauts aboard — Zena Cardman (38), Mike Fincke (58), Kimiya Yui (55) and Oleg Platonov (39) — flew to the station from Florida in August and had been scheduled to remain until mid-February. NASA ordered an early return due to a medical concern affecting one crew member; officials cited privacy and did not name the individual but said the person remains stable. Officials described the decision as necessary to enable full medical evaluation on the ground and cited a lingering risk and uncertainty about the diagnosis.
