American astronauts boarded their own spacecraft again, and no longer lived under the manned aircraft.

In the past decade, only the Russian Soyuz spacecraft was the only vehicle capable of transporting humans to the International Space Station. In the entire human history, there are currently only three countries that can successfully launch manned rockets, the former Soviet Union, the United States, and China in chronological order.
