Soyuz Spacecraft

Ever wondered about the Russian Soyuz Spacecraft, like how they work and what they look like?  Personally I have.  I am pretty familiar with the US Space Shuttle but know next to nothing about the Russian space vehicle which will likely be the only spacecraft bringing astronauts and cosmonauts to the International Space Station once the Space Shuttles are retired in 2010.  For the curious amongst us the New York Times provides this wonderful interactive look at the Soyuz today.  Very nicely done and informative.
