SpaceXs historic encore: Astronauts arrive at space station
Congratulations on a phenomenal accomplishment and welcome to the International Space Station, SpaceX Mission Control radioed from Hawthorne, California. NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy greeted the incoming crew by ringing the ships bell aboard the space station. Hurley said the capsule handled really well, very crisp.The astronauts thanked everyone once the capsule was latched securely to the space station. NASA has yet to decide how long Hurley and Behnken will spend at the space station, somewhere between one and four months. Even so, getting the two astronauts safely to orbit and then the space station had everyone breathing huge sighs of relief.
