Moscow--Two Western astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut safely landed in Kazakhstan Thursday, returning to Earth after their flight back home was delayed by a Russian rocket failure.
Both Russian mission control and NASA showed a capsule carrying Russian Anton Shkaplerov, Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti and Terry Virts of the United States landing in the steppes of Kazakhstan. "It was a textbook homecoming," a NASA commentator said.
