From :- BBC World News   By :-  Pallab Ghosh, science correspondent, and Dan Sales Edited by :- Amal Udawatta Reuters Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) were ordered to shelter in an attached spacecraft after the structure suddenly started leaking more air. Five of the seven crew were directed to go into the docked SpaceX shuttle Dragon "Freedom" on Friday afternoon and were braced for a potential evacuation. Meanwhile, two remaining personnel - a pair of Russian cosmonauts - attempted to repair a part of the Russian segment of the ISS, where the leaks had started increasing on Monday. The repairs were paused and the crew ordered back onto the ISS by Nasa on Friday afternoon.

At their first Nasa news conference since returning last Friday, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen said they left as friends and came back as something closer - bound by an experience that no earthly language can fully contain. More than the technical milestones, the mission reminded them of what being human actually means: laughter, joy, tears, and an instinct toward one another that transcends borders. And their message was clear: Landing on the Moon is not the distant dream it once seemed. "We wanted to go out and try to do ...
