WASHINGTON/ALMATY - A Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying a U.S. astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts successfully reached the International Space Station after blasting off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, live footage broadcast by Russia’s space agency Roscosmos showed.
The mission is the last scheduled Russian flight carrying a U.S. crew member, marking an end to a long-held dependency as the U.S. revives its own crew launch capability in an effort to drive down the cost of sending astronauts to space. NASA has bought additional crew seats from Russia as its public-private crew program faced delays - with Rubins’ $90.2 million mission being the most recent - and in July ceased negotiations to purchase more as the agency prepares to start operational missions in November using SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule.
NASA and Roscosmos have committed to continue the flight-sharing partnership in exchange for flying Russian astronauts on U.S. vehicles and to fly U.S. astronauts on Russian rockets when needed, a spokesperson for Roscosmos told Reuters.
NASA Astro_Kate7 I think Russia has already landed a man on Mars and they brought back some Martian disease and that is why Russians are so weird?
NASA Astro_Kate7 I think Kate should sleep with one eye open
NASA Astro_Kate7 funny how the US claimed that they outpaced Russia's space program back in the cold war era. And now the Russian gave a ride to the outer space for the US scientist.

NASA Astro_Kate7 Not only scientists but other professionals & masses have no differences with citizens of other countries as all like peaceful life. Politicians are big exception as their survival depends on creating divide. Few exceptions are always there.

Lithuania, and Belarus. This violates US policy! '1984', Eurasia!!! We should not be friendly to Russia or China The MIGHTY Superior Americans must HITCH rides on Russian Rockets with Russian Crews for how many years now? All NASA Funds have been DIVERTED to SUPPORT Wall Street Indexes for YEARS.
