New Soyuz Mission to the ISS

[Dead Parrot]

Well, another hard working <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_spacecraft">Soyuz space capsule</a> is on its way to a rendezvous with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internatio ... ernational Space Station</a>

A summary of the story can be found <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/space/04/1 ... ">here.</a>

I'll have to get some comments from Nyllover when he returns. An Italian astronaut, Roberto Vittori, is part of this mission. I wonder how astronauts are treated in Italy? It's pretty run of the mill here in the U.S. Unfortunately the only time you really hear their names anymore is when there's a disaster.

Good luck to the men on this mission. I hope its an enjoyable milk run for them.
