The Russian Soyuz re-entry capsule, carrying the first South Korean astronaut back to Earth, suffered a “ballistic re-entry”, putting the capsule 400 km (250 miles) off-target. Russian Federal Space Agency chief Anatoly Perminov placed some of the blame on an old naval superstition.

“.. in the future, we will work somehow to ensure that the number of women will not surpass [the number of men].”
