    What a great review by a great astronaut! Thank you so much Mike for the respect to Russians, which is felt throughout this video. You are really one of the great Americans that can do critical thinking and decision making, with no russophobia poisining their brains. Being Russian, I do believe that America is a great nation, and that we will engage in all kinds of high-tech cooperation in the future. Cheers!!

    I really like the Soyuz spacecraft! Reliable, safe and a fairly cheap means of travel to and from the ISS. Idk, there's something about space capsules that fascinates me for some reason. Like with the Soyuz, I love how it breaks into 3 separate parts before returning. If I had to travel to space, I'd definitely trust Soyuz any day 👌 👌

      @@leandrogomes2351 the Soyuz six hour / four orbit rendezvous profile has only been around since 2012. Before that they flew a two day / 34 orbit profile. The enablers for the six hour rendezvous are that the station has to manouver to accommodate and that the vehicle has to launch dead on time in it's planned launch window. If they scrub then it's back to a two day rendezvous. The booster performance /orbital insertion also has to be dead on. Earlier Soyuz rockets could not reliably achieve this accuracy.
      Probably falcon/dragon could fly a faster rendezvous profile but it would trade mission assurance for slightly faster transit time. Is it worth it on a maiden test flight? and what is the point anyway given that dragon isn't nearly as cramped as soyuz? Maybe they will do it later. It took the Soyuz program 45 years to develop the ability!

Would like to hear more about what you do after you are in space, and how the habitat area works. It has always seemed pretty frightening to have 3 people shoehorned in that ancient tub for 2-3 days.. wow... certainly must help make the station feel like a wide open wilderness when you get there.. Thanks so much Mike for sharing this story, anxious to hear more. ! And anxious to see space tec move away from rocker switches, and toggle switches, wow, pretty much the same as a 1964 MGB, for some controls. !!

    Interesting thing, that the Soviet Union produced it's own space shuttle "Buran", not because they needed it for space flights- from the very beginning they considered it as expensive nonsese, but they were afraid that american shuttles will become space strategic bombers, so they build it just in case. They had no money to implement life support system, so instead they installed a computer that controlled the Buran during whole flight and landing. It have surprised it's creators by picking an alternative landing trajectory and touched the landing strip only four meters away from predicted place.

      Even more interesting is that it is a carbon copy of the American shuttle! Funny that!

    A lot of people feel claustrophobic just wearing a pressure suit. With Soyuz, you put on the pressure suit, then slide into this little can, with your knees bent halfway up to your chin. It's the stuff of nightmares.

    The space shuttle program started in 1981, the Soyuz is from 1967...
