Soyuz flies (again)

A Soyuz-FG freighter took off from Baikonur yesterday to replenish ISS stocks.

This marks the 2nd flight of Soyuz since the emergency abort, and the first from Baikonur since then (the other flight was from the military launch facility at Plesetsk, launching a Glonass satellite - maybe ). Roscosmos is planning the first manned return shortly.

2 flights within basically a month since the abort is a cracking pace, and certainly signals the fact the Soyuz program was NOT in jeopardy.

Meanwhile, at NASA...errr
