Soyuz rocket heading to ISS makes emergency landing - CNN

soyuz had a failure.  
That's really crazy. I wonder how this will affect things. Hopefully the ISS isn't abandoned.

ya. ive been dieing to get home to try  to get more info in what happened. i assuming scott manley will have a good summary.  

i havent heard where they problem was.. was it with the 4 boosters or just the center stack?  or even how far into launch it was.

Sounds like a booster might have failed to seperate and impacted the rocket. That would be crazy destructive.

DD_Bwest

yup.   I have a strange feeling this will come down to quality control.
