Apr. 25--WASHINGTON--When a Russian Soyuz spacecraft blasts off from Kazakhstan late tonight, it will be taking an American astronaut, a Russian cosmonaut and the fortunes of the international space station along with it.
Shortly before midnight Eastern Daylight Time, Ed Lu and Yuri Malenchenko will take a nine-minute ride from the Baikonur Cosmodrome into orbit, on their way to a rendezvous with the station early Monday morning.
If everything goes as planned, Lu and Malenchenko will spend the next six months together, more than 200 miles above the Earth, watching every drop of water they use and every morsel they consume.
