A Soyuz capsule carrying three astronauts docked at the International Space Station at 9:36 p.m. Eastern time, less than six hours after it left the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Just a few years ago, that was a trip that took two days, or 34 orbits, before the Soyuz capsule could catch up with the space station.
It is now quicker to go from Earth to the space station than it is to fly from New York to London. Maybe less cramped than the economy seats, too.
#Soyuz within 20 meters.
