Soyuz MS-17 launch

A Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle launched the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 14 October 2020, at 05:45:04 UTC (10:45 local time, 01:45 EDT). The Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft, with Expedition 64 crew members Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins, will attempt for the first time a two-orbit, three-hour journey to the International Space Station. Soyuz MS-17 is scheduled to automatically dock to the station’s Rassvet module at 08:52 UTC (04:52 EDT).

[@rbrtck]

@@ant4812 I presume he had some help 😉, but yes, he was a genius rocket designer that gave the USSR their initial lead in the Space Race that they otherwise might not have had. Such was his importance that Soviet leaders were always afraid that he would be assassinated, so at the time he worked in secret, and his unfortunate early death (from routine surgery, if I remember correctly, as well as heart disease) dealt a huge blow to the Soviet manned lunar program.

[@rbrtck]

@@KD10Conqueror In what way? The Falcon 9 first stage can fly many times, which seems to suggest that it is pretty robust. And its current run of 122 consecutive successful missions (counting both manned and unmanned) is already better than the Soyuz can usually do. The Soyuz's current run is 69 successful missions in a row, and the number is most often lower than that over its history. Its highest reliability was achieved during the 1980s and 1990s, with runs of 133 and 146, so it still holds the record for now, but those two runs are far and away the best it has achieved. Over most of its history, there is usually another failure after less than 50 launches since the last one. Most these days involve the upper stages, but every so often those four boosters attached to the core stage cause failures. Don't get me wrong, the Soyuz rocket is one of the most reliable in history, but it is not unbeatable in this respect, and lately it has been a bit less reliable than it was in the 1990s. The Falcon 9 is not only approaching the Soyuz's records from its heyday, it has done so with first stages that have flown multiple times (two have flown more than 10 times now).

Additionally, there have been times when both countries were unable to launch their astronauts for a number of years, but it wasn't considered a big deal. It was only a big deal this time because both countries jointly operate the ISS, making any downtime more significant than it was before. By the way, in China nearly five years passed between the manned missions Shenzhou 11 and Shenzhou 12, yet people talk as though China are going to race past everyone else like we're standing still.
