SPACE CENTER, Houston -- After moving into the international space station, American astronaut Frank Culbertson wasted no time beginning his tour of duty as the station's new skipper.
His first official job Monday at the orbiting outpost: helping attach a cargo carrier to the station that contained food, clothes, a sleeping bunk and science experiments.
"We're thrilled to be here," said Culbertson.
