Russian space officials honored international space station crew members Friday who suffered through a botched landing in Kazakhstan in their Soyuz capsule last month.
Space agency officials help American astronaut Peggy Whitson, bottom, South Korea's first astronaut Yi So-yeon, center, and Russian flight engineer Yuri Malenchenko just after their arrival at the Chkalovsky airport near Star City, on Saturday, April 19 2008. A Russian space capsule touched down in Kazakhstan on Saturday after hurtling through Earth's atmosphere in a steeper-than-normal descent, subjecting the three-nation-crew to severe G-forces and landing hundreds of kilometers (miles) off target. It was the second time in a row - and the third since 2003 - that the Soyuz landing went awry, though none are believed to have caused permanent medical problems for the crews.
