The docking won't be until tomorrow. Hopefully the live feed is on until then.

They just said that the live coverage will be nonstop until docking in just under 19 hours.

It's interesting how that description is political. I'm guessing because it sounds too much like communism. It's the better word though imo.

I think it was the other way around. The Russians didn't want their space travelers called astronauts. I know the Chinese have a unique name for theirs. (Avoiding the obvious jokes)

Maybe. The Russians were the first in space, so I assumed that their name came first. Carl Sagan would approve.

when such events were a source of national pride and unity. Now the soros, open border leftists will condemn it as US colonialism instead of the brilliant achievement that it is.

duh, you are correct. Yuri Gagarin IIRC but did they refer to him as a cosmonaut back then? Cosmonaut has a more space like sound.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that they did. I was watching a history show and Yuri Gagarin's flight was one of the most celebrated events in modern history, although it wasn't here. He received parades in countries around the world, not just communist ones either. He had a parade in London. But he was barred from even entering the US. I never knew.

still word humping? When I worked at Hillside facility I was not a Long Island RR employee. These were US Astronauts on a Russian space ship.

The reality is that the only thing that prevented Russia from dominating the space race for the last 60 years was that a Nazi decided to surrender to the US instead of Russia.

The likely coming reality is that our space program is poised for a big leap over the next two decades. After a 20 year pause, we're going to get to where people thought that we were headed. We will likely have dozens, maybe hundreds of people living and working in space in just the next 10 years and many hundreds or thousands in the decade after that. It's moving that fast.

Where do you draw the line? Conventionally, non-Russians who went up on the Soyuz were cosmonauts and non-Americans who went up on the Shuttle were Astronauts. So it should extend to everyone else who used the Soyuz and took off from Baikonur.

And Engineer and motorman are essentially the same jobs depending on who your employer is. I would remind you that American Astronauts on Russian Spacecraft were only passengers being transported to the ISS. They were not employees of the Russian Gov't.
