#NASA “We're not calling this a #rescue #Soyuz. No immediate need for the crew to come home. I'm calling it a replacement Soyuz.” Launch postponed until early March https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/space/roscosmos-delays-soyuz-ms-23-launch-until-early-march

Launch of #ISS #rescue mission that #NASA says is not a rescue mission https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2023/02/this-week-in-spaceflight-the-dont-call-it-a-rescue-mission-to-iss-and-more

The #WaPo also uses the bad "R"-Word "Since Roscosmos is now sending that spacecraft as a #RescueVehicle , the replacement crew won’t fly until September." https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/15/space-station-rescue-delayed/
