A rocket carrying two astronauts on their way to the International Space Station suffered a booster malfunction, forcing them to abort the flight and return to Earth in a “ballistic re-entry mode.”
Russian Cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin and US astronaut Nick Hague of NASA were on board, but their lives are not in danger, according to NASA commentator Brandi Dean at NASA mission control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
