Looks like for the second time in a row, the Soyuz capsule has returned to Earth with a pretty serious error in its trajectory. Unfortunately this placed a whole lot of unneeded stress on the astronauts, at times they experienced up to 10g's of force place on their bodies as the capsule took a steep ballistic trajectory on re-entry. Luckily the capsule landed successfully, but they were off course by over 200 miles delaying recovery by Russia for about 45 minutes.
