sorry didnt know if this has been posted yet. Apparently this is going to delay the launch of the next crew, and worries are building over whether or not the crew already on the ISS might be unable to stay an extra month. with the shortage of capable craft able to take crew members it appears the worst has happened, luckily nobody was onboard but could this be the catalyst to get private companies on the bandwagon for building conventional spacecraft?
