Inside the Russian Soyuz Spacecraft

In this episode of NASA: Behind the Scenes, take a tour inside the Russian Soyuz, the vehicle which takes the expedition crews back and forth to the International Space Station. Astronaut Mike Fincke, a veteran of the Soyuz and shuttle, shows off the features of the vehicles and talks about what it's like to be inside.

I loved this guy so much, so relaxed and simple way to explain the general details.

On my opinion, all astronauts and cosmonauts are real heroes! They do incredible job, very hard and so dangerous but always smile and respect each other. Best regards from Russia!

What a great review by a great astronaut! Thank you so much Mike for the respect to Russians, which is felt throughout this video. You are really one of the great Americans that can do critical thinking and decision making, with no russophobia poisining their brains. Being Russian, I do believe that America is a great nation, and that we will engage in all kinds of high-tech cooperation in the future. Cheers!!

One of the best NASA interviews about the Soyouz I've ever seen.

I like how the Russian's solve problems. Where NASA would probably do multi-million dollar ergonomics studies for the perfect console layout, Russians give the cosmonauts a stick to push the buttons. Problem solved. I like that.

I really like the Soyuz spacecraft! Reliable, safe and a fairly cheap means of travel to and from the ISS. Idk, there's something about space capsules that fascinates me for some reason. Like with the Soyuz, I love how it breaks into 3 separate parts before returning. If I had to travel to space, I'd definitely trust Soyuz any day 👌 👌
Good job Russia 🇷🇺 🇷🇺👍

Cool as ice.
"we relax and listen to some music, maybe american jazz".
And then you fly a spaceship.
Great interior shots of the TMA, can't find any better images anywhere.
He speaks of not having gravity in a while like I speak of not having ceviche in a while.
Bravo.

The biggest emergency in soyuz is the stick breaking.

Guys, I just want to say: " I love and respect you so much...I can't find anything else so important and so humbly done than your flights to and from the International Space Station." Everybody is to watch every single video devoted to the magnificent and unforgetable trips you go through and say "Wow, this is what our lives are to be spent on..." Wish you all the good luck and may the gods protect you in every step you make up there and down here!!!)))"
