I have not kept up to day.

What is the current status of the ISS crews ? Have 3 crewmembers come
back down already ?

Looking at NASA-TV schedule, I see the following:

Oct 30 at 06:11 : Progress launch.

Nov 13 at 23:14 ET : Soyuz with 3 crewmembers.

Are those the first launches since the soyuz rocket accident ?

Yes to all

Lets hoe they work. The Russians seem pretty confident they know the
problem, but what always worries me is have they been so distracted with the
problem they miss something else. as we have been told many times, this
stuff is not easy.

It's especially difficult when every flight is the very first flight of
that copy of the launch vehicle hardware. This is an unfortunate
attribute of expendable launch vehicles.

What has Arse to do with it. I thought that was just a way to keep folk busy
till someone came up with a reason to go on?
