So one assumes then that the failure of the previous one is now understood
is it?

The Russians say they understand it, but there seems to be a lot of cynicism
about their conclusion. Particularly about how quickly they came to the
conclusion that it was a single incident manufacturing problem.

Maybe they are going with the idea of making a new and different
mistake for each failure.

You know this sounds very like the old Nasa attitude before they started
losing people again.
So what did they do to that Soyuz that made it leak the other day, now
delaying a launch till they get a new craft and the current one will need to
be reworked.
Something to do with over pressure? That sounds familiar as well.

Might I also suggest they avoid missions, dates and times with the number 13?

Dave

Hmm, well, I refuse to believe that the number is important.
its far more likely its those who see the number and are affected by it
make mistakes.
If we are goint to let superstitions affect things, we might as well give
up.
