Important thing is that the crew are safe. But this #Soyuz malfunction could have major implications for ISS resupply and crew missions in the coming months. Currently, the Soyuz is the only way people get to or from the station.https://twitter.com/BBCBreaking/status/1050311437825073158 …

Hm OK. My expertise on this is somewhat limited. But my understanding is that the ability to safely get the crew out at almost any time during launch is a big advantage of Soyuz and a big problem of the shuttle. Specifics of when it was/wasn’t relevant are not clear to me.

You're right, the shuttle had a lot of red zones where it was simply not possible to save the crew in the event of a failure, most of these are during the initial first minutes of launch while the boosters are firing. 1/2
