Travel to Space: Expedition 18 Lifts Off!
This is a great view of Soyuz TMA-13 spacecraft’s lift off. The ride is carrying Expedition 18 Commander Michael Fincke, Flight Engineer Yury V. Lonchakov and American space flight participant Richard Garriott to their workplace on a long commute.
The Photo was taken at the time of launch today, Sunday, Oct. 12, 2008. Surprisingly The Astronauts went on their long commute from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
This spacecraft carrying three crew members is scheduled to dock with the International Space Station on Oct. 14. Astronaut Fincke and Astronaut Lonchakov will spend six months on the station, while Astronaut Garriott will return back from work to Earth on Oct. 24, 2008.
Two members of Expedition 17 will also return with him. These folks have been working at International space station since that long.
But the point is. This is most stylish ride to work…. Happy commute folks, return safe… your families are waiting..
