        Three-Man Crew Returns from International Space Station Mission

   A Soyuz space capsule carrying a three-man international crew has
   landed safely in central Kazakhstan.
   Canadian Chris Hadfield, American Tom Marshburn and Roman Romanenko of
   Russia landed Tuesday after a 146-day mission to the International
   Space Station.
   The 53-year-old Hadfield is a veteran of two shuttle missions and the
   first Canadian astronaut to assume command of the ISS. Before leaving
   the ISS, Hadfield said goodbye to life in space by recording his own
   version of British rock star David Bowie`s "Space Oddity."
   Even before the release of the Bowie tribute, Hadfield had engaged with
   a worldwide audience online, showing what happens when one attempts
   everyday activities in zero-gravity. He has built up an enormous
   Internet profile with over 800-thousand followers on twitter, and
   counting.
   The three men`s mission was the 35th expedition aboard the space
   station. Their replacements are scheduled to head for the station on
   May 28. Until then, the station will manned by a reduced crew that
   includes both Russian and NASA astronauts.
