...since the joining of a three-person Apollo capsule with a two-person Soyuz spacecraft 20 years ago next month--with a highly ballyhooed bear hug in space--had there been such a joint effort...
...Russians have requested that we don't hit their space station this time as hard as Apollo hit Soyuz back in 1975," says TIME's veteran aerospace watcher Jerry Hannifin. But that may not be an easy task. As the two spacecraft hurtle toward theirscheduled 9 am docking over Central Asia tomorrow, pilot Hoot Gibson will have to contend with a much more difficult linking than in the Apollo-Soyuz maneuver.

Marti said further testing showed that the meteorite was wandering in space for about three million years before it landed on Earth. Another meteorite that was found in Antarctica 10 years ago also had the chemical signature of the Martian atmosphere, according to Marti, whose findings...
