Imagine if this had been Tanker Starship.

This was the best spacecraft to take a hit in—as it was a relatively inert forward living compartment that took the (likely) Geminid hit….had that been a typical capsule without that sphere in the nose—the capsule itself is what takes the hit here.

If I were the planners, I’d be rushing to get another Soyuz ready for a fast flight. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

It could always be used to send garbage back.
