NASA's Sunita Williams and her colleague Butch Wilmore have successfully docked Boeing's Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) after overcoming new issues that cropped up enroute to the orbiting laboratory.
Williams, 58, flew to space for the third time along with Wilmore, 61, scripting history as the first members aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft to the ISS. The former is the pilot for the flight test while the latter is the commander of the mission.
The spacecraft had taken off on Wednesday and successfully docked at the ISS on Thursday, about 26 hours after launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
On the way to the ISS, the crew completed a series of tests including manually flying Starliner for the first time in space. The two of them are joining seven others currently living on the station.

Got up around a half past 5, the chores and was ready by 10. The maid was at work.
Got my PSA result; nothing to worry about!
A rainy day, all through.
