Atlantis links with Mir 240 miles above Earth in a docking to swap NASA astronaut John Blaha for Jerry Linenger. The two crafts joined near Moscow at 17,500 mph as nine crew moved nearly 6,000 pounds of supplies and experiments. Blaha, aboard Mir for five months, ends his stay as Linenger begins a four plus month mission. Blaha, 54, a former Air Force colonel, reflects on the separation from his wife of 30 years Brenda and their family while Goldin praises the milestone in sustained cooperation.
