Soyuz-U - "all stage performances were nominal."  Now that's how you do a retirement flight.

Congrats to Roskosmos on the success of Progress MS-05 and an excellent send-off of the Soyuz-U rocket.

We will miss Soyuz-U with its high reliability, but its legacy will live through its descendants.

Congrats to Roscosmos and farewell to Soyuz-U. Has any other rocket flown that many times, ever?

Now I need to catch up on what replaces that rocket. My rocket-fu is insufficient; I must train harder.
