[@MrDaddynomates]

Brilliant. One of the most reliable and solid rockets ever made. Love watching it launch. Doesn't matter which country designed it. Its awesome.

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

Not so reliable actually...though your comment is 6 years old, so you are forgiven. I consider Saturn V to be the best one regarding old tech, not a single failure from all 13 launches.

[@MrDaddynomates]

@@BIOSHOCKFOXX Soyuz has had way more than 13 launches. The Saturn 5 was great. But very big and expensive. No use for regular launches to the iss.

[@lauriehogan6382]

BIOSHOCKFOXX 2 failures actually, pogo oscillation on Apollo 6 which necessitated design changes, and an early engine shutdown on Apollo 13. Not to mention the Apollo 1 fire as well. Not knocking the Saturn program , but let’s not pretend the Soyuz hasn’t had a fantastic history either.

[@mdggaming1519]

@@BIOSHOCKFOXX the soyuz rocket operates from the 1960's and had 1 total failure in 1982

[@VG_164]

@@BIOSHOCKFOXX Why are Americans like this? One of them is from a rocket family that has launched almost 2000 times while the other only had 13. I guess you think the death trap called the Space Shuttle is better than Apollo V seeing has it launched twice as many times without problems before killing 7 people.

[@lexusdriver1963]

For foreign astronauts who are gonna be flying on board the Soyuz believe it or not they have to speak the Russian language fluently. So I would say they would have to attend a language class to learn how to speak Russian first before going onboard the Soyuz.

[@ssssjxd]

Interesting never knew that but makes sense

[@lexusdriver1963]

@@ssssjxd Because everything done onboard the Soyuz spacecraft is in Russian which means regardless of nationality of the astronauts they have to speak Russian fluently. Between the Soyuz and the SpaceX Crew Dragon if I had the choice I'd chose the Crew Dragon.

[@TheYoutubeAdventurer]

​@@ssssjxdIn Soyuz it's always the Russian cosmonaut that will the commander of the spacecraft,so probably if the commander doesn't know any English it kinda makes sense.

[@raulalmeida4448]

soyuz was far superior to saturn v, Not on power, but on time of use and reliability..

[@simony1210]

Soyuz and Saturn aren't comparable. Soyuz gets about 7000lbs to LEO, Saturn V did 260 000lbs.

[@raulalmeida4448]

Simon Young In fact I was not referring to power, but hours of flight, reliability, while the Saturn V was '' a giant flying gas tank '' (NASA technical) subject to any kind of damage has already been built in a hurry go to the moon. Regarding the power you're really sure Soyuz was not built to go the moon.

[@maxfactor4209]

+Raul Almeida soyuz and saturn are not in same league. soyuz should be compared to shuttle. both are capable to do the job but soyuz is way cheaper but shuttle lunch is beauty

[@dancolley4208]

+Raul Almeida If you count failures, Saturn = 0; Soyuz = at least three I've seen. If you count numbers of launches Soyuz wins hands down. Saturn was replaced with a space shuttle. Russia doesn't have one. Soyuz is the Russiansa light load, low earth orbit launch system. Currently the USA has at least two. Better? I don't think you could say that in any sense of the word.

[@CaptainCore993]

That was millions upon millions to get 3 people into the international space stations,at least bring 5 people.....

[@Vidoes4Less]

CaptainCore993 That would cost more training, more supplies of food/water, the living spaces would be much more cramped. You have to think about these factors.

[@als19981]

Vidoes4Less Also, that would mean designing a whole new rocket, seeing as no current rocket carries more than 3 people.

[@simony1210]

[@unrealturbos]
