This is a link post Watch Bob and Doug safely splash down at 19.48 BST
...or unsafely splash down a few minutes before that if their parachutes fail, or die in a fireball at around 19:30, or suffer a catastrophic failure during the deorbit burn at about ..now. ..Ish.

All chutes deployed! They've splashed down! They survived!

All times are subject to change, I'll try to update this post accordingly.

This is a normal post Slightly less mortal danger than landing a shonky Space Shuttle or Boeing Starliner
but they are sitting inside a bomb.

This is a normal post Not really
they will have dropped the bomb bit off just before they hit the air and let it just fall into the ocean.

This is a normal post Yes really!
The trunk, the part they are jettisoning, has some aerodynamic fins, some radiators and some solar panels. The engines and fuel tanks are integrated in the capsule itself.

Because you joined the discussion and continued to interact with me. Seems fairly conclusive.

Sorry if you feel fact shamed.
