US-Russian crew blasts off to International Space Station
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan (AP) — A Russian-American crew of three blasted off to the International Space Station early Friday, making a second attempt to reach the outpost after October’s aborted launch.
A Russian Soyuz rocket carrying NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Christina Koch along with Roscosmos’ Alexei Ovchinin lifted off as planned from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 12:14 a.m. Friday (1914 GMT Thursday).
===================================================
I'm rooting for Elon Musk to get his new capsule approved so that we don't keep on sending $$$M to Russia for these launches.
Being a female astronaut in day-to-day close proximity to a bunch of claustrophobic alpha males has to be an interesting experience for all. No strip poker on the ISS I would guess. I'll bet they could bottle & sell all that testosterone.
