NASA ponders SpaceX astronaut rescue as backup after Soyuz leak: report
Commenting on an article at Space.com.

Roscosmos will NOT like the idea of this. The fact that there is a NASA astronaut to be brought home with their guys complicates things, but certainly if it was three Russians, Roscosmos would rather hold their breath and just wait on getting their next Soyuz up sooner then let us bring them home. If they do wait for that Soyuz, it throws their future flight schedule into a cocked hat, because they don’t have any spare capsules held aside for contingencies.
Sure is a far cry from the asinine comments from the previous head of Roscosmos about trampolines. Those SpaceX trampolines could save lives.

Source? And some context that's coherent?
