"We all loved the ride up there, it was way smoother than we could have imagined", says US astronaut Raja Chari as the Dragon SpaceX capsule docks with the ISS, kicking off the Crew-3's six-month mission.

The Inspiration4 mission will see the four crew orbit the Earth for three days before splashing down in the Atlantic.
