Crew safety apparently. the peroxide is used as a monopropellant in the descent module since the decomposition by products are non toxic (even though the propellant itself is very dangerous).
-
Given that the launch was in the daytime in Russia and it was also daytime where I am in Australia it seems unlikely that it's still flying around at night.
-
Watch the MS-09 launch, tower jettison was called out at the same time as this launch, just prior to booster sep. ETA- tower jettison was brought forward from the Soyuz TM series to T+115s in order to increase payload.
-
Escape tower jettisons just prior to booster separation. The rest of the payload shroud jettisons some time later.
-
The RD-108 has four chambers but it's only one engine (not counting the verniers).
-
Letting go of the plane is one of the hardest parts. Your brain's kind of asking why you're standing outside an aeroplane at 14,000ft.
-
LES was gone so they just had to separate from the rest of the rocket rather than blast free.
-
Looks like booster failure so they'll be landing downrange today instead of going into orbit. ETA-booster separation looked pretty rough.

About 55mins until the launch of MS-10 https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#public

Because APAS(and now the NASA docking system IDSS) isn't a probe drogue system you can have a docking target inside the docking ring. https://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-108/html/s108e5112.html
-
Dragon 2 and Starliner use the IDSS ports rather than the berthing ports so the HTV delay shouldn't have had any impact on them.

Soyuz MS-10's due to launch on the 11th October so it's only a reduced crew for a few days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_MS-10

All hatches are obstructed--except they are not...

Looks like the overwing engines are too close. You could try moving them further out or sinking them into the wing. -
It was the primer colour that they used to paint over with white. To save weight they stopped painting them white and the blue primer colour became a distinguishing feature that they kept. http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-091518a-delta-blue-last-launch.html
