Astronauts made ‘prank calls’ after returning to Earth - BGR

NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley made history when they were aboard the first crewed flight to the International Space Station in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft.

Hurley revealed during an interview after the recovery that he and his fellow astronaut placed several calls from the ocean, and they enjoyed it. “Five hours ago, we were in a spaceship, bobbing around, making prank satellite phone calls to whoever we could get a hold of,” Hurley said.

Now that the astronauts are back safe, and the Crew Dragon proved its worth, so to speak, NASA will have the opportunity to fully certify it for future use

That means that NASA can use the Crew Dragon to send astronauts on official missions, rather than demo test flights as has been the case thus far
