MOSCOW — A Russian spacecraft carrying a three-man crew docked successfully to the International Space Station following a flawless launch.

The Soyuz craft, carrying NASA's Reid Wiseman, Russian cosmonaut Max Surayev and German Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency arrived at the station at 5:44 a.m. (0144 GMT) Thursday. They lifted off just less than six hours earlier from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The Mission Control in Moscow congratulated the trio on a successful docking.

They are joining two Russians and an American who have been at the station since March.

3. The 'regional' power is in space?

Obama insulted Russia calling it a regional power, yet they are carrying our people into space?

Russia has the largest oil reserves on the planet, can blow the world to smithereens in 30 seconds and carries our people into space. Russia is a superpower, and they will get back at Obama for the insult. Some diplomat Obama is, eh?
