Nice additional info from APOTD:

The Russian Soyuz-FG rocket was launched in November 2018 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying a Progress MS-10 (also 71P) module to bring needed supplies to the ISS. Highlights in the 90-second video (condensing about 15-minutes) include city lights and clouds visible on the Earth on the lower left, blue and gold bands of atmospheric airglow running diagonally across the center, and distant stars on the upper right that set behind the Earth. A lower stage can be seen falling back to Earth as the robotic supply ship fires its thrusters and begins to close on the ISS, a space laboratory that celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2018.

Diagram of re-entry for the Soyuz:

Orbital Module:
---------------------
It houses all the equipment that will not be needed for reentry, such as experiments, cameras or cargo. The module also contains a toilet, docking avionics and communications gear. Internal volume is 6 m³, living space 5 m³. On the latest Soyuz versions (since Soyuz TM), a small window was introduced, providing the crew with a forward view.

Service Module:
---------------------
It has a pressurized container shaped like a bulging can that contains systems for temperature control, electric power supply, long-range radio communications, radio telemetry, and instruments for orientation and control. A non-pressurized part of the service module (Propulsion compartment, AO) contains the main engine and a liquid-fuelled propulsion system for maneuvering in orbit and initiating the descent back to Earth. The ship also has a system of low-thrust engines for orientation, attached to the Intermediate compartment. Outside the service module are the sensors for the orientation system and the solar array, which is oriented towards the sun by rotating the ship.


Consequences of bad jettisons:
------------------------------------------
The services modules are jettisoned before the spacecraft hits the atmosphere. A failure or partial jettison of the modules means that the capsule will not enter the atmosphere heat shield first which can lead to a number of scenarios:
- Capsule pushed off course (by hundreds of km)
- High sustained g-loads on reentry
- Plasma on reentry can burn through the craft if the heat shield is not exposed and oriented properly resulting in loss of crew.

Interesting yes, our Soyuz no. The Saturn V is way overkill for LEO deliveries of astronauts. But yes they should have kept it around and we should have had a base on the moon by now...

Interesting. They should never have discontinued the Saturn program. They were our Soyuz .

The video is from the Soyuz-TMA 16M spacecraft docking with the Russian Mini Research Module 2 (MRM2) “Poisk” on the zenith node of the Service Module “Zvezda”. (Just in case you were planning to visit, and wanted to know where to park.)

(some spoilers here, although not really anything that wasn't in the video)
I thought it was quite good. Not great, but quite good.

That being said, the one thing that I was sure that an "honest trailers" spoof/take on it would include was left out: I lost count of how many times the last propulsive jet before they ran out of thrust in whatever system/mechanism they were using was just enough to get them into "precarious grab, slip and bump off into another precarious grab".

Gorgeous George jets around as carefree as can be -- fetching bolts, unhitched and drifting Sandra ... even the corpse of "man down in the first 5 minutes". He or others talk about how he is going for the record longest spacewalk many times. But then, when they really need it, "oh, sorry, I've just got enough juice left for one more burn".

Same thing repeats for the Soyuz, the Wall-E extinguisher, and conceptually in many other instances.

That is the aspect of the flick that stood out the most for me as begging for a good send-up.

So would I. Reminds me of this rocket failure: http://videosift.com/video/Soyuz-Rocket-Failure-some-language-NSFW-637

Same engineers that designed all Soyuz spacecrafts, so I've heard...

I'm all for Branson's efforts on this, my only issue is that it's not true orbital space flight. They have a long ways up to truly get out of the earth's grip.

Unfortunately, this model of spaceplane will probably always be relegated to "lower space" because it is super light-weight and would not be able to carry the heatshield required for orbital reentry.

I'm more excited about the inflatable Bigelow space habitat that is being tested in orbit at the moment. And I really wish that NASA would just adopt the Soyuz method of spaceflight. They are cheap, dependable and very rarely kill cosmonauts.
