Finally, Ax-1, first private astronaut mission to International Space Station, docks after 45-minute delay

<p>A cruise ship went off course recently. Well, not due to any natural calamity but a US court order where a judge granted the seizure of the vessel. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The court order has come as part of a lawsuit over millions of dollars in unpaid fuel. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On Thursday, a federal judge in Miami had issued an arrest warrant for the ship. It is a maritime practice where a US Marshal goes aboard a vessel and takes its charge once it enters US waters. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
