Watching Soyuz TMA-8 docking to the ISS last Friday evening was a very enlightening experience. Especially seeing the RCS of the Soyuz in action, as it look quiet different from what I imagined. If you have missed the action, it is still time to head over Space-Multimedia to see the video, it really is a great show to watch ... for space geeks that is ;-)

As we are getting close to the 25th anniversary of the first Shuttle flight (STS-1), the NASA History Division have put up a rather nice set of pages which presents facts and images of this particular mission.
