The men already on board the ISS are about due to come home, but I understand this Soyuz is not their return vehicle, I believe one is still docked and about expired to be able to leave, for reasons I'm not quite sure about, just from memory from this past August Progress spacecraft mishap. Nice to see things being worked out.

I believe another Soyuz will be launched soon also, and I'm not sure if it will be manned, I'm really not keeping abreast about all of this. I would appreciate any updates. It should be mentioned that the NASA-ISS coop hasn't died like some try to suggest. They seem to be so absent in threads when other space agencies have mishaps, and pile on a NASA mishap when the rarity occurs.

all it takes is to sit and watch i guess.

sidenote, may i suggest you to refrain from hitting enter/reply/submit/refresh buttons twice all the time? i'm a programmer and system admin, i'm dealing with computers since many years and all i can say is that posts/threads don't double on their own. it's unfortunately your fault. and after as many double posts and threads as you've had so far, it makes one wonder if you're doing it on purpose to bump up your threads. just saying.
