<p>Wet and windy weather delayed their homecoming but SpaceX and Nasa finally gave the all-clear on Friday, and the three Americans and one Italian departed the International Space Station, which has been their residence since April.</p>
<p>The capsule parachuted into the ocean, just off Jacksonville, about five hours after it left the space station.</p>
<p>It carried Nasa astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkins, the first black woman to complete a long-term space flight, and the European Space Agency’s Samantha Cristoforetti. SpaceX delivered their replacements last week.</p>
<p>Before leaving, the astronauts said they could not wait to have a cold drink with ice, eat some pizza and ice cream, take a shower, revel in nature and, of course, reunite with their families.</p>
<p>“Getting the first few hugs when we get back is really going to be awesome,” Mr Hines told reporters earlier in the week.</p>
<p>Remaining aboard the space station are three Americans, three Russians and one Japanese.</p>
