12 Astronauts in space at the same time… I think that is a new record, isn't? 6 astronauts in the Shuttle STS-115, 3 in the space station, and 3 in the Soyuz spacecraft… Lots of tense people on the ground monitoring 3 manned spacecrafts at the same time… Pretty cool.
Lots of good news… The Shuttle STS-115 crew is safe at home (see landing image gallery), and Expedition 14 has safely docked with the Space Station. Expedition 13 and 14 are in the station, and the first woman private space explorer is up there with them.
The International Space Station is now half built, and the plan is to complete construction by 2010.
Congrats to the crew of STS-115, Expedition 13, and Expedition 14, and to Anousheh Ansari.
