A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket makes a successful second attempt on Thursday, blasting off for the International Space Station carrying two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and the second Emirati to voyage to space. Space has remained a rare venue of cooperation between Moscow and Washington since the Russian offensive in Ukraine placed them in sharp opposition. While aboard the ISS, the Crew-6 members will conduct dozens of experiments including studying how materials burn in microgravity and researching heart, brain and cartilage functions. IMAGES
