Youre comparing a testing goal to an operational goal? How the hell is that even relevant?
We’d all still be using steam engines with your logic, because the moment a gasoline engine blew up in testing we shoulda just given up! And jet engines for aircraft? What a waste of time!
Eh? Both the Soyuz and Falcon 9 are proven spacecraft. That one abort was a fluke and the crew survived without injury. I’m sure they’ve put in some effort to make sure that abort won’t happen again.
The Soyuz is cheaper. Roscosmos is an objectively better rocket company.
…buddy…
Roscosmos hasn’t innovated anything in about 2 decades
Roscosmos doesn’t consider clearing the launch tower to be a success. There is value in continuing to use proven technology.

C’mon. You gotta be smarter than that.

Falcon 9 never had an abort with crew onboard, while Soyuz has.

You, an idiot: “these are comparable”
Also, the first one is reusable.
