Title: Astronauts take off from NASA to ISS?
Post by: SusanDoris on November 23, 2020, 12:53:59 PM

I can't find whether that take-off and flight to the ISS was successful. Anyone know, please?

Yrs. They docked about thirty hours after blast off, as per schedule.

Many thanks - very interesting. My (older) son has been reading me Tom Peak's book about his time on the ISS and anyone who goes through all the complicated training required before the six months there deserves every kind of respect there is. His detailed description of his space walk is completely fascinating.

Thank you too, anchorman, for your reply.
