Cosmonaut and two US astronauts launch to space station on Soyuz MS-06 [i]A Russian cosmonaut and two American astronauts have left Earth for a five month stay on the International Space Station, lifting off from the same launch pad where the Space Age began almost 60 years ago. Alexander Misurkin of Russia's space agency Roscosmos and his NASA crewmates Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba lifted off aboard the Soyuz MS-06 spacecraft atop a Soyuz FG rocket from Site 1 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the same pad used to launch Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite, on Oct. 4, 1957.[/i]
