I took a few shots of the very moment of launch, and then broke away from the lens and, as advised, continued to look with my eyes. And my other camera did not stop filming and this is what I saw.

The launch of the Soyuz-FG carrier rocket with the Soyuz TMA-20M manned spacecraft took place today at 0:26 Moscow time.

Russian cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin, Oleg Skripochka and American astronaut Jeffrey Williams flew to the ISS.

And from a distance of about two kilometers.

And another camera looked at the sky longer and even got caught in the rain and someone passing a flashlight.

The docking is scheduled almost 6 hours after the launch, at 06:12 Moscow time.

Backstage.

NOTHING! Beauty!!! I'm shocked. These are some of the emotions...
