I love the rocket plume colour and thrust cone tightness on the Soyuz engines - looks powerful, and it is.

NASA has said they have no issues or concerns with using the Soyuz in light of the mission abort recently also, as it had yet again proven it's safety impeccably - the US astronaut involved has had nothing but praise for the system that made an instantaneous decision to abort. There is also a preliminary report out by Roscosmos about what/why it happened.
