The two crew members landed safely in the desert, instead of their planned trip to the International Space Station.
McClain said the October failure investigation had assured him that it would not happen again. "I really see the incident that occurred on October 11th with our launch break, not as a failure but as a success, because the systems that launch the abandonment system were built a long time ago, they had not been exercised since 1983 and was necessary, it was working perfectly, exactly as planned. "She added," We understand the risks of spaceflight.We are risk reduction professionals every day, but we also understand that the probability is never 100% when you are in a company of this type and that you can have a being talk to the crew about it that night, then that's Is a successful day. "
NASA relies on Russian rockets to transport astronauts to the space station since the US abandoned its space shuttle program in 2011.
