The crew aboard a Soyuz capsule in the Soyuz returned to Earth Friday from the International Space Station.  They are safe and sound and that’s good, BUT not all went well.  An as yet to be determined problem caused the three person crew which included NASA astronaut Ron Garan along with his two Russian cosmonauts colleagues to lose communications for several minutes during the descent.

Communications was restored eventually, although we don’t know how whether it was via a back up system or something as simple as a improperly position switch, it sure does seem to add doubt to future of the ISS without the shuttle.

Ah well.
