Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the first rendezvous in space, Russia’s Soyuz TMA-19M reached the space station on Tuesday (Dec. 15), just six hours and four orbits after its launch. The arrival repeated history made in 1965, when Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 came within one foot of each other, in a feat that enabled astronauts to land on the moon and, later, for the International Space Station to be built and operated.
