NASA's current plan is for Crew Dragon Endeavour to undock from the ISS at ~8 pm ET on Aug. 1, with splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean scheduled for roughly 3 pm ET on Aug. 2. Notably, the return timing is a moving target, especially given weather:https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/17/nasa-plans-to-return-astronauts-in-spacexs-crew-dragon-on-aug-2.html …

Could the crew dragon survive reentry from a trip from the moon? Asking for a friend.

Dragon was originally designed to survive a return from Mars, so the Moon would be easy in comparison. SpaceX uses a heat shield material that they got from NASA and improved upon. Here's a good summery: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20140005558.pdf … Stardust was an interplanetary mission.
