“When foreigners observe [Soyuz] launches, they are surprised that we carry out lift-offs at exactly the designated time. In recent years the Americans have only once carried out a shuttle launch at exactly the designated time. This was a surprising event. The whole world was talking about it. They postpone launches up to six times. It is due to the spacecraft’s features. Our system is more reliable.” — Anatoly Perminov, head of the Russian Federal Space Agency, according to Interfax.
