Astronauts..I hope it goes better than the Ukrainian War.
I wouldn’t want to be the poor bastard that had to break this news to Putin! >

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
