Russian Soyuz TMA-21 has blasted off, on it's way to the International Space Station. It's been almost 50 years to the day, since since the first human spaceflight.
The Soyus rocket is decorated with Yuri Gagarin's name and picture, along with a giant number 50 - and the words 'Let's go!', Gagarin's famous last words before climibing on board.
You can TRACK THE SPACE STATION with this link for Google Earth. This file shows the position of International Space Station, it's horizon, and a two hour orbital track so you can see what it's passing over.
