It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the Russian space program, which is also used by the U.S. to carry its astronauts to the station.United States astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely about 20 kilometers from Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan. The city is about 450 kilometers from the Russias Baikonur space center, which Russia operates through an agreement with the Republic of Kazakhstan.Both the U.S. space agency NASA and Russias Roscosmos reported that the two were quickly recovered from the landing area by rescue crews. A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “Thank God the crew is alive” after they had landed safely.About two minutes after launching, the three-stage Soyuz booster rocket suffered an unspecified failure of its second stage.

Parachutes（降落伞）helped slow the returning capsule. Search and rescue teams were sent to recover the crew.Russias RIA news agency reported that Russia has immediately put off all manned space launches after the failure.

Up until that point, our family had our own space to spread out. Money was tight, so there was no television set, but we owned a turntable on which my dads records played constantly.

Each day, as more disappeared, the hungry past seemed like a mere dream, and I sank deeper and deeper into despair.Suddenly, I noticed a young girl, on the other side of the barbed wire, stopped and looked at me with sad eyes seeming to say that she understood. Then she reached into her pocket, and pulled out a red apple. She looked cautiously to the left and the right and then with smile of triumph quickly threw the apple over the fence. I ran to pick it up, holding it in my trembling frozen fingers. Her eyes twinkled. In my world of death this apple was an expression of life, of love.Sh
