I don't want to disturb the live updates to this thread but I have watched and followed along many of these Soyuz landings and I'm always surprised how poor the communications quality is between the Soyuz and the Russian Misson Control...

29:21 to landing...things are going well..apparently...

Under 30 mins. Great weather at the landing site.

Some day, year or century the Russians will have satellite comms with their spacecraft like every other major space faring nation.
Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."
