Space trio lands in Kazakhstan after bad weather delay

ALMATY, Mar 18:  A Russian Soyuz capsule made a “bull’s eye” landing in the steppes of Kazakhstan on Saturday, delivering a Russian-American trio from the International Space Station, a day after its originally scheduled touchdown was delayed by foul weather. NASA’s Kevin Ford and Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Evgeny Tarelkin, who had manned the 100 billion dollars orbital outpost since October as Expedition 34, landed in cloudy weather at 0706 hrs  Moscow time northeast of the town of Arkalyk.
