That was a close call. The astronauts faced 6-7 Gs tumbling in the upper atmosphere before falling down to earth like a rock
The Soyuz has been reliable workhorse. Still, it may just be showing its age
While this is investigated for months, unfortunately for the astronauts in the space station, they'd have no choice but to stay there until the investigation is finished and problems corrected

Excellent. But another reminder that space travel still involves what amounts to sitting atop a Roman candle.

I echo glad they're safe. Excellent back up engineering plus excellent job by the rescue crews.
