So one has just returned three guys back to earth...

I decided to look it up on Wikipedia. Very well written article. I never knew how small this thing was. I\'m amazed that they manage to squeeze three guys in the thing. Heck the old space shuttle could probably carry thing thing into orbit inside it\'s cargo bay.

It\'s a very sad and very impressive that this spacecraft has been used for so long and is the only real way to get humans to the ISS and back (for now). Kudos to Russian space technology for such a reliable spacecraft. What I love most is that the landing is VERY Kerbal.

I personally would love to see a similar craft made for 0.16 when it comes out... Three Kerbals Crammed in like sardines

That did not look like a soft landing at all.

André Kuipers is the human equivalent of Jebediah; immediately smiling on the phone after 6 months in space and crash-landing ... !

Looked decently soft to me. The large kick up of dust was from retro rockets that burn just before impact, as they said in the video.

The kick up of dust made it look like a hard landing at first

Spot the difference between KSP and the Soyuz

Well some times the landing rockets don\'t work and the poor suckers are in for an even rougher landing...
