Without any context , it looks like something has croak terribly , abysmally ill-timed in the pic above taken around midnight last night . But that piddling ball engulfed in flaming is doing just OK — and so are the three member of the International Space Station Expedition 36 that were snuggly inside and on their agency home .
The Soyuz TMA-08 M ballistic capsule ’s cargo included NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy and Russian Federal Space Agency cosmonauts Pavel Vinogradov and Alexander Misurkin . These man have been revolve the Earth for the past 166 day , during which time they managed to circle the Earth 2,656 fourth dimension . The Soyuz is the only means for international astronauts to turn over the ISS , so though these astronauts may be done , the ship itself is going right back up on September 25 to carry the next sight of astronauts to their raw dwelling off from home .
