Pretty chuffed to hear of a rocket failure that didn't end in fatalities.

That in-capsule footage of the "shimmy" is goddamn terrifying. I didn't know a rocket could take that kind of flexing and not just fall apart at the seams!

Launch - problem - abort - recover the astronauts, unharmed (even after 6.7 Gs!). Good work, all around.
