Here are the stats that I gathered from the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_programme Soyuz Total Manned Flights - (91); (including Soyuz TMA-4 currently docked to ISS; Soyuz 32 launched manned, landed unmanned; Soyuz 34 launched unmanned, landed manned.) Launch aborts - (2); Soyuz 18a, Soyuz T-10-1 Failed rendezvous or docking - (8); Soyuz 3, 7 & 8, 10, 15, 23, 25, 33, T-8 Crew killed - (2); Soyuz 1, Soyuz 11 - Rusty Barton |

Soyuz 5 being the most dramatic of those not mentioned above: http://www.astronautix.com/flights/soyuz5.htm Of course, it isn't clear if Bob is asking about the launch vehicle, or the spacecraft, or even if he knows the difference. There have also been various unmanned flights of soyuz and soyuz derivatives (Progress, Zond, various unmanned test flights, etc). And as usual, Bob could have found this sort of information with a few minutes on google. |

Or are you still trying to figure out whether or not you did any homework before posting that what happened to Columbia was "the worst possible way"? Have you yet found your verifiable references to show that, had NASA management actually had the meetings required by protocol, even though they said suchmeetings would have been pointless, that what happened to Columbia *would have* turned out differently, as opposed to *might have*? Don't say you've already answered the question, because you haven't provided *even one* verifiable reference that answers the question. You're welcome to provide a verifiable reference to your post in which you included such references (note that simply saying "CAIB report", which you did, is NOT a cite). |
