If I were stuck on the ISS, I'd be pretty worried about any Russian rescue plans at this point. The country cannot even supply its troops with warm jackets in the winter -- how could it possibly undertake something as complex as an emergency space evacuation? >

Why is this getting upvoted? It's just a routine Soyuz launch which they have done multiple times since the war. >

A massive coolant leak is routine? Man Russia is an embarrassment. >

They had oxygen leaks on ISS even before the war, it happens. >

Why would anyone trust the Russians to do this? SpaceX exists, getting people on and off the station is a solved problem, the era of Russian stopgaps after the Shuttle is very over. >

There's already a SpaceX Crew Dragon up there (C210/Endurance).
The problem is that there's only four seats in the capsule, and seven crew currently on the ISS.
Soyuz MS-22, with the cooling loop leak, was intended to be the ride home for some of the current ISS crew. >

Russia is just joking as they conscripted the space station crew months ago to fight in Ukraine and replaced them with poor quality, Russian-made nesting dolls versions of the crew >

Astronauts..I hope it goes better than the Ukrainian War. >

I mean, isn't it like a half millimeter hole?  Do they have like a hose clamp? >

Watch Elon Musk save them >

Space is neutral territory 
If someone is in trouble, you do everything in your power to save them. >

Good to know maritime laws apply in space >

Do we, the US, even have a vehicle capable of rescue at this point?  With the shuttles retired, I'm not sure what our options are.  Critics like to complain that the shuttles were too expensive, inefficient, so on and so forth but god damn if they werent a fantastic machine.  Plus the astronauts could land the damn thing and walk off of it instead of landing in the damn ocean.  Relying on Russia and god help us, SpaceX, seems kind of insane at this point, no? >

The US has contracts with SpaceX and with Boeing. Boeing's Starliner was plagued with problems during development and will be entering service about three years late. Sierra Space's Dreamchaser (It's a mini shuttle, let's go!) will start cargo missions in 2023, and will continue to be developed to have a crewed variant sometime later in the decade, probably for when Orbital Reef becomes a thing.
You complain about SpaceX, but have they ever been a bad partner for NASA to work with? >

Also I'm not familiar with the dream chaser so I've got to look that up.   What a name!
