Soyuz launches two astronauts to ISS
A Russian Soyuz rocket successfully launched two astronauts to ISS today.
The capsule used the fast rendezvous approach, and docked with the station later in the day.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Wasn’t it supposed to fly a paying third astronaut, to earn Russians some money? I read that the Russian are decreasing their crew because they cut down the Progress launches from 4 to 3 per year to save costs. But I’m surprised they cannot instead sell the extra seat to another ISS-space agency or company.
Ben Shapiro was banned from speaking a few months ago (I forget where now) and he arrived anyway. He inquired and the police informed him if he stepped foot on campus he would be arrested. He has a wife and kids and chose not to. I hope Coulter pushes the issue all the way.
