News here in central FL is wall-to-wall Hurricane Michael (understandable); thank God the astronauts’ lives were spared.

Remarkable safety technology. Back in the old days those two men would have been dead.

As the media continues to feed the mob their daily dose of Russia horrors, it is interesting to be reminded of how we are working together to explore the cosmos.

...
Actually, this is old days technology and that’s why they are alive.
If they’d been on the Shuttle they would be dead.
This was the American astronaut’s first launch.
There are pictures of both astronauts back at the launch complex. They look great. Just another day at the office.

Thanks.
The rocket appeared to be fishtailing, then the escape system activated, followed by the rocket disintegrating.

As I was flipping channels this AM on of the local snewz stations had maybe a 00:30 blip. And that Both Crew were safe. That was All.
Thank You God for bringing these Men Safety back to Earth.

According to the announcer the main engines were supposed to burn for 2 minutes 6 seconds. The escape tower seemed to activate about 10 seconds before that.
This is only the second time an escape system has activated. Both were on Russian rockets and both times the crews were saved.

I saw a report saying, “Reports say that the two experienced a force of 21g during their escape - 21 times the force of gravity.”

If you watch long enough, those Ivanaughts got a hell of a bumpy ride too. Those guys have some brass ones.
