They’re lucky the damned door stayed on…

Imagine training for ages to be an astronaut. Only to get shoved into this tin can made by a company who’s name is now synonymous with shoddy workmanship. A program that’s had numerous development delays, launch delays and STILL launched with known issues like the helium leaks.

I’d take a Soyuz over this any day of the week.
