Point me to an official report, or high resolution video that confirms which booster didn't separate properly and somehow hit one of the core engines. Roscosmos has issued a statement to that effect. Pointing you to video isn't going to help because you haven't the slightest clue what you're looking at or should be looking for. Media quoting some unnamed NASA official who heard from grapevine that this is what the russian are looking is is not official conformation. And is a press statement to TASS by Sergei Krikalyov, Roscosmos Executive Director for Manned Flights, 'official' enough for you? What the media are saying MAY come from sources that turn out to be accurate. But that doesn't mean that what they are saying is, at this point, confirmed facts. Mayfly, why don't you ever bother to find out the facts before you start running your mouth? You are also ignoring the possibility that the booster improperly separating may be the result of a problem instead of being a cause. You're ignoring the facts in order to run your mouth. -- "Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong." -- Thomas Jefferson |

I looked at the wikipedia entry for Dragon 2 whcih simply stated crew capacity of 7 and no information on how NASA planned to use it. Hence my question which to you seemed stupid It didn't just seem stupid... And asking Mr Google for Dragon 2 crew capacity yielded "7" in responses. Well of course it did. Because that is the Crew Dragon capacity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commer...ew_Development This very long entry mentions the early RFPs requesting ships with capacity of 4. Which says that NASA will never fly more than 4. But much lower on that page, the initial crew manifests for the first 2 manned Dragon flights have only 2 crewmembers. Because that's what the current crew exchange requires. I'd expect they'll almost always fly 2-3, keeping with the current crew rotation. So, it looks like crews of 4 for most operational missions. No, it looks like 4 is the mandated max capacity, not what NASA actually intends to use. I don't think NASA plans to ever use more than 3 seats. That's why Boeing applied for (and got) permission to sell 'spare' seats to tourists. The maximum crew capacity of 7 could be used in a contingency. Will Dragon 2 always launch with 7 couches and 7 SpaceX suits that are compatible with any/all astronaut sizes? Are the couches on-orbit adjustable to fit astronauts of different sizes or are they more like Soyuz, requiring either the couch is adjusted on ground, or a custom liner made on ground ? Judging by the way the simulator is laid out, they'll fly with four seats and the option to put three cargo pallets where the other three seats would bolt in. Crew Dragon has a pretty 'gentle' reentry profile, so I don't think it requires a lot of 'special fitting'. The max g load on Dragon is something under 3.5g. Soyuz hits 6g and has a big 'jolt' at the end due to recovering on land the way it does. I would expect that, for escape purposes, the assumption would be that people will fly down on the vehicle they flew up on, so everyone who would ride Crew Dragon will already have a suit. -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G.

With Soyuz, you could likely take a Soyuz 2 back in time to the 1960s, sit it on the pad, hook it up (with a little Russian ingenuity), and get it to fly. Someone had argued Soyuz-2 was the first new rocket Russia built. I argued that Syouz 2 was an upgrade of Soyuz. I realize it is hard for you to agree with me, but there is no need for "bull****" insults. If you don't like your output being called 'bull****', perhaps you should stop putting out so much bull**** (which I notice you 'cleverly' elided). Really, Soyuz 2 has way more in common with the original R-7 than your **** poor Cadillac analogy. New engines, new control systems. Keeps the same overall style. And continues to be a "Soyuz". Note that one major change at the pad is that they will no longer need to rotate pad because the new Soyuz will have a "roll program" after launch to orient to right orbital inclination before accelerating. Do you have a point in there? By your 'logic' one could claim that a modern Cadillac car is just an 'evolution' of the original Cadillac horse drawn carriages. A modern Cadillac has absolutely nothing to do with a 1960s Cadillac except for the name. Core design remains unchange with 4 wheels, front mounted engine, transmission and real wheel drive. And a certain style that is well known even if they changed it. Bull****. Find a single part on a modern Cadillac that can be traced back to a 1967 model. Your argument about modern Cadillac could equally apply to Soyuz since today's Soyuz is an evolution from the original, while keeping many core designs the same. Bull****. Many of the parts on even a Soyuz 2 are IDENTICAL to the parts on an R7. NOTHING is interchangeable between a 1967 Cadillac and a current Cadillac model. So it is wring to stated the Syuz is 1960s technooogy today. The same way it is wriong to state the 737 is 1960s technooogy today, even if Boeing has had to keep many 1960s concepts to reduce regulatory costs (such as mechanical linkages between cockpit and control surfaces instead of fly by wire) Bull****. -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G.

The space media is covering this incident like white on rice on a paper plate in a snowstorm. I had looked up space.com and all I could find was the specilation about the booster separation. Just because all the media repeat the same story obtained from unknown NASA source who heard it through the grapevine that the Russians were considering that possibility. That does not mean that the Russians have released an offciial statement on the matter. Except, as I explained to you, they have.

Googling "Roscosmos statement" or "Roscosmosn press release" points to the September even of a Soyuz having a leak at space station. NASA's press release about MS-10 https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/n...0-launch-abort Mentions nothing about cause. Your defective research skills are not my problem and they certainly don't constitute a 'defense' of your ignorance. Pointing you to video isn't going to help because you haven't the slightest clue what you're looking at or should be looking for. Good deflection ... It's not a 'deflection'. It's a statement of fact. ... because I am stupid. Which I can't fix, particularly when you resist. But the lack of high resolution video SHOULD also prevent anyone outside investigators from speculating that the booster separation was the cause of the accident (instead of possibly the result). You, the mighty expert who is without any fault can't possibly reach your conclusions that the cause is now an established fact if you haven't even seen such a high resolution video. The video I looked at on YouTube is of adequate resolution to see it if you know what you're looking for. And is a press statement to TASS by Sergei Krikalyov, Roscosmos Executive Director for Manned Flights, 'official' enough for you? Officoal statement from Tass, October 15. http://tass.com/science/1026015 Russia’s space agency declines to name causes of Soyuz rocket failure until probe is over Krikalev did make a press conference today (Wednesday). So 1: not fair to tell me I should have know of its contents when I posted yesterday, and 2, that TASS article, while reporting on the Kirkalev press conferences does not mention causes and rtepeats the above that the won't talk about it until investigation is over. It mentions that they will have 3 unmanned Syuz launches before December's manned flight. http://tass.com/science/1026349 So, if you reference some mythical statement that can't be found after spending over half an hour reason countless TASS statements on Soyuz (that basically repeat the same things), then at least don't accuse me of not trying. And certaintly don't accuse me of not having access to some statement that was made after I made post. Well, **** you then. Since you are so adamant about defending your ignorance, remain ignorant and be damned to you. Mayfly, why don't you ever bother to find out the facts before you start running your mouth? And whoever you are who insists on being unprofessional, perhaps you need to learn how to read media reports because wordings such as "sources say" etc have sigtnificant meanings on how to ionterpret what is written. Just because a reportr reports that Roscosmos is looking at booster separation failure does not make this an official cause of the accident, especially when Roscomos goes out of its way to state that it will not speculate on cause until it has completed the investigation. You can make up all the obfuscatory bull**** you like. You're ignoring the facts in order to run your mouth. I am waiting for facts, not media speculation. If you can't participate constructively to provide facts, whty do you participate? If you can't or won't read and understand even simple explanations, why do you ask questions? If for instance, instead of insulting me, you actually provide the link to the official TAS Sreport that Krikalev actually confirmed the cause of the accident, it would have helped more than me (and saved me half an hyour of seraching only to find an article that Roscosmos refused to confirmed the cause) This took a single google search to find and is dated October 12: "The collision of elements during the separation of the carrier rocket’s first and second stages is the primary cause of the Soyuz-FG booster’s abortive launch, Roscosmos Executive Director for Manned Flights Sergei Krikalyov said on Friday." Mo http://tass.com/science/1025675 It is not my fault you are too adamantly pig-ignorant to find it and expend all your effort arguing with people when they give you FACTS. I spent 3 seconds to find this using a search based on what I had already told you ("krikalyov tass statement soyuz launch failure"). You spent 30 minutes flailing around to fail to find anything useful other than to try to justify your ignorance. You have no excuse and the information was available almost a week ago. Learn to admit when you're wrong. -- "Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong." -- Thomas Jefferson |

Russian Official Tells NASA to Take a Flying Leap April 29, 2014 / 12:32 PM EDT https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/uk...mpoline-space- russian-official-tells-nasa-take-flying-leap-n92616 From above: Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, a target of U.S. sanctions sparked by the Ukraine crisis, said Tuesday that those sanctions would boomerang against America's space effort and essentially told NASA to take a flying leap ... on a trampoline. "After analyzing the sanctions against our space industry, I suggest to the USA to bring their astronauts to the International Space Station using a trampoline," Rogozin said via his Russian-language Twitter account.

That's why Boeing applied for (and got) permission to sell 'spare' seats to tourists. Actually, NASA specified four seats on the crewed vehicles from the beginning so that some time in the future they can increase the ISS crew size from six to seven. One additional crew member would allow more science experiments to be performed. NASA ANNOUNCES NINE COMMERCIAL CREW FLIGHT ASSIGNMENTS, MORE TO COME FROM INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS By Marcia Smith | Posted: August 3, 2018 2:39 pm ET | Last Updated: August 3, 2018 2:39 pm ET https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/n...mmercial-crew- flight-assignments-more-to-come-from-international-partners/ From above: Once the commercial crew systems are operational, it will be possible to increase the size of the crews who remain aboard ISS for long-duration (4-6 month) missions from six to seven. That was the original plan: three from Russia and four from NASA and its European, Canadian and Japanese counterparts. It's a bit odd though that both SpaceX and Boeing went beyond the minimum requirement and both picked seven as the maximum number of crew in each capsule design. Makes me wonder if that was coincidence or if this was always some sort of unwritten requirement that was communicated verbally.
