New Crew Greeted at Space Station

Expedition 24 Soyuz Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and NASA Flight Engineers Doug Wheelock and Shannon Walker arrived at the International Space Station June 17, docking their craft to the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module on the Russian segment of the station. A few hours later, the hatch opened and Yurchikhin, Wheelock and Walker were greeted by Alexander Skvortsov, Mikhail Kornienko and Tracy Caldwell Dyson, who've been on the station since April. The three newcomers were also welcomed by officials gathered at the Russian Mission Control Center outside Moscow.

I sure could use a few months on the space station.

Да, стыковка и встреча космонавтов впечатляет, но мне кажется, что есть более интересный момент, когда космонавты уже заняли свои места и буквально за час до старта слушают музыку.
