This is what the crew of the International Space Station saw last - TopicsExpress



          

This is what the crew of the International Space Station saw last night (apparently on the other side of the world since it is obviously daylight) as "company" was coming on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, just hours after it blasted off in a fury of fire and smoke in central Asia. What used to be a 2 or 3 day journey to the space station has been condensed to less than 6 hours, thanks to some high-tech finagling of orbital mechanics. Now that the company has settled in, the space station is back to a full complement of six (including two Americans) for maximum utilization for scientific research and discovery.
