Russia's space agency criticised President Trump's "hysteria" about the first spaceflight of NASA astronauts from US soil in 9 years but also said it was pleased there was now another way to travel into space. SpaceX on Saturday launched two Americans into orbit from Florida en route to the ISS, a landmark mission that ended Russia's monopoly on flights there. Trump said the US had regained its place as the world's leader in space.
