The Soyuz TMA-13 is delivering Richard Garriott for a 10-day stay on the station. The paying space tourist says it is a lifelong dream for the first child of a U.S. astronaut.
The Soyuz automatically latched onto the station a few minutes ahead of schedule Tuesday after a two-day journey from Earth.
Garriott's father Owen applauded as he watched the docking from Russian Mission Control outside Moscow.
Also aboard were U.S. astronaut Michael Fincke and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Lonchakov. They will replace the station's current crew and spend several months in orbit. source
