Old SpaceX capsule delivers new crew to space station

A recycled SpaceX capsule carrying four astronauts has arrived at the International Space Station, a day after launching from Florida

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A recycled SpaceX capsule carrying four astronauts arrived at the International Space Station on Saturday, the third high-flying taxi ride in less than a year for Elon Musk's company. The Dragon capsule docked autonomously with the orbiting outpost more than 260 miles (420 kilometers) above the Indian Ocean, a day after launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The new arrivals — representing the U.S., France and Japan — will spend six months at the space station. They’ll replace four astronauts who will return to Earth in their own Dragon capsule Wednesday. It was the first time two SpaceX crew Dragons were parked there at the same time — practically side by side.
