The Soyuz, duh, cos it's the only thing that can actually fly people to the ISS at the moment.

Shiiiiit.

In case anyone doesn't know, we have no way of getting people to or from the ISS now.

Thats a good thing.. Destroy the fucking thing we will be able to expand beyod LEO

I should rephrase that.

We have no way of getting ANYTHING into or out of space safely now. Soyuz is grounded, SpaceX is far from usable.

>>3676851

The Space Shuttle and Soyuz rockets wern't the only thing putting things into space.. The people on the ISS can get off without another rocket launch.

>> No.3676856

>>3676851
not exactly true
no way of getting people to the ISS
however
ESA and JAXA ressuply ships are not grounded

and the current 6 man crew on the ISS can get home if they want to - 2 docked soyuz capsules to the ISS at the moment

the soyuz rocket fleet is grounded
soyuz rocket =/= soyuz spacecraft

>> No.3676857

>>3676855
I thought they were reliant on soyuz 'cos the escape pods got binned
