Better stop using your phone, GPS, and the internet. You have blood on your hands.

Why do you think anyone has ever gone into space?
Nazi Germany didn’t build the V-2, the first object in space, to bring peace.
While we’re at it, semiconductors, GPS, and the Internet were all developed or advanced to guide bombs to their target.
Half of all space launches, including SpaceX, are government. Most for communication and reconnaissance.

If you read between the lines, it was this or the official update, that Soyuz temperatures are nominal, if slightly elevated, BUT that’s because it’s attached to the station.
Basically if they haven’t closed the hatch because of concerns it will heat up, or haven’t gotten to that test, it isn’t off to a good start.

That’s the real follow on question. Even with a camera inspection, or a spacewalk, they’ll only have an idea of how far a meteorite went based upon testing something beyond that.
Assuming it was a meteorite, and assuming they can safely test, and if you’re not willing to try start up or up to a point, the first time shouldn’t be with people. Not with other alternatives.

I’m surprised no one noticed or has said that this launched on 23 February, advanced from a delay to March.
The announcement was made on Tuesday (launched Thursday) or three days, suggesting last minute and minimum time to launch, in advance of 24 February.
Which means the checks and precautions that delayed MS-23 probably weren’t done, and the accelerated timeline was from upper most echelons of the Kremlin. Perhaps as a distraction (that clearly no one picked up on).
Maybe it matters for the next six months on orbit (if the same problem occurs), maybe it doesn’t.
That’s a larger gamble than ensuring it won’t be a third strike against Roscosmos.
