Space junk misses station astronauts
None
A discarded chunk of a Russian rocket missed the International Space Station early Saturday. However, it came close enough to force six astronauts to seek shelter in escape capsules.
NASA says the space junk was barely close enough to be a threat. Had it hit, however, the station could have been dangerous. So the astronauts - two Americans, three Russians and a Dutchman - woke early and went into two Soyuz vehicles ready to rocket back to Earth just in case. (AP)
