It's not lost. They've got a pretty good idea of where it is in Siberia.

Well, 43 successful docking of 44 is a good record.

I could almost understand it if the rocket had blown up or something. That's mechanical.

This was computer mathematical. Whatever happened to math as a constant?

Yes, software is always perfect. I've never had a program just stop working before.

That 43 of 44 is referring to ISS flights only. Total flight count is (if I have not missed any) 129 of which 2 have failed. This means success rate of about 99,9845 %. This ofcourse assuming that I have not missed any crashes.
