‘The Dragon is ours!’ Supply ship arrives at International Space Station
A space capsule carrying one ton of supplies arrived at the International Space Station this morning — a day late after it got off to a bumpy start on Friday.

Included among the packed items for the six men on the space station, the Associated Press reports: “640 seeds of a flowering weed used for research, mouse stem cells, food and clothes, trash bags, computer equipment, air purifiers, spacewalking tools and batteries.”
