Crazy few seconds of footage of the crew being rocked about inside the capsule before they cut the feed, just sitting motionless apart from the rocking. I wonder what they were thinking in that moment... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Well done to the Russians. I always thought these crew escape procedures were a PR sop rather than anything that would actually work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placidcasual Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Going down to the big observatory by Dalmellington on Saturday night. Anyone been? Apparently a good night if it's clear skies but the drive to it sounds like a b*****d. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few bob in it I believe. The ESAs budget is about 5 billion Euros. NASA's budget is $20 billion. The US has a vastly larger budget to fund the development of new manned space hardware. It is much cheaper for the ESA to buy seats on Soyuz than pay for a crewed vehicle that would only have one or two flights a year at the most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
