Russia Investigating Rocket Malfunction

An investigation is underway after a NASA astronaut and his Russian counterpart had to make an emergency landing in their Soyuz capsule.  American Nick Hague and Russian Alexi Ovchinin were headed to the International Space Station after a launch from Kazakhstan yesterday.  The men were forced to make an emergency ballistic descent and rescue crews were dispatched immediately.  They were taken to a cosmonaut training center outside Moscow for evaluation.
