Astronaut Peggy Whitson is poised to become the first woman to command the International Space Station. Whitson and two new crew members arrived at the orbiting scientific outpost Friday to begin a mission to expand the Space Station.

Whitson will oversee the expansion of the Space Station with the installation of three new modules. The modules will increase the amount of interior space by nearly 40 percent, allowing for a total of six astronauts to live and conduct experiments aboard the orbiting laboratory. Currently, there is only enough space for three crew members on the station.

Looks like they all had a Happy flight up, and are lucky they didnt get stuck with this Nut
