The next space station crew members -- Flight Engineers T.J. Creamer,
Soichi Noguchi and Oleg Kotov -- will arrive at the orbital
laboratory next week, not in a sleigh drawn by reindeer, but aboard a
Soyuz spacecraft. The new residents look forward to receiving holiday
greetings, or "tweetings," when they reach the station. They are
scheduled to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on
Dec. 20 and dock with the station on Dec. 22. They will enjoy
off-duty time and share a special meal during the holidays.
