...steamed across the Atlantic last week, the majestic white passenger liner evoked memories of such grand old ships as the Queen Mary and the Normandie. Yet this $200 million craft, built at a French shipyard during the past 21 months, is very much a space-age creation. Cantilevered from her single smokestack, 14 stories above the waterline, is a flying cocktail lounge.

Last week the Soviets moved a big step closer to that milestone. As part of the first complete crew change aboard the spacelab, three cosmonauts docked their Soyuz TM-4 craft with Mir, which had been occupied by a team of two since March...
...crew is scheduled to return to earth New Year's Eve along with last week's third space traveler, a scientist on a short-term mission. By then Commander Yuri Romanenko will have spent 328 consecutive days in space, shattering the Soviet record of 237 days and leaving the U.S. record of 84 days in the cosmic dust...
