Recycled SpaceX Capsule Docks at International Space Station

VOA News

   A recycled SpaceX crew capsule has delivered four astronauts from three
   countries to the International Space Station.
   The SpaceX capsule docked with the orbiting outpost early Saturday,
   according to the U.S. space agency NASA, after launching Friday from
   the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
   Friday's lift-off was the first time a rocket and crew capsule have
   been reused in a human mission. It is the third time SpaceX has sent
   humans to the space station under its multi-billion-dollar contract
   with NASA.
   The deployment of a reusable rocket helps keep down the cost of the
   space program.
   SpaceX is owned by entrepreneur Elon Musk.
