Astronomy / Space Russian Space Agency to NASA: Investigation Into Space Station Leak Is Under Way
- Thread starter Manticore
- Start date
The report on this last week had the Russians (Roscosmos space agency) saying:
'Dmitry Rogozin said the hole detected last Thursday in a Russian Soyuz module docked at the ISS was caused by a drill and could have been done deliberately, either back on Earth or by someone in orbit.
“There were several attempts at drilling,” Rogozin said late on Monday in televised comments, adding that the drill appeared to have been held by a “wavering hand”.
“What is this: a production defect or some premeditated actions?” he asked. “We are checking the Earth version. But there is another version that we do not rule out: deliberate interference in space.”'
From the Guardian 5th September. ( https://www.theguardian.com/science...ir-leak-someone-drilled-the-hole-say-russians )
Made me chuckle at the time, wondering if the Thargoids had invented time travel and were after Jameson's ancestor.

By the way - here is the hole:

There is definitely a 'cold war' vibe to a lot of actions from Russia recently, and this would be the first (i think) that aimed to get in the way of international space co-operation
Certainly the space thermites.
It will be necessary to treat

Looks like a bullet hole so possibly micro-meteorite; however those burr marks look like it was s drill.
Damn straight.
He's everywhere, even in the space

The ISS is Babylon 4!
One more incident in the space war
Hmm. Did they order that bit through Amazon?
A little more 'news' on this subject:
'After more speculation about cause of ISS leak, NASA issues another statement':

the plot thickens?

Not really, since we all know that TJ is the instigator of this sabotage
I don't think it could be a micrometeorite. First - it's an exit hole (it's curved outwards) so there would have to be an entry hole.
And second - most MMs don't go all the way through but vaporize on impact so there wouldn't be an exit hole at all.
It's a really interesting mystery. I wonder if the astronauts looking at each other with suspicion. It's a "locked room murder" mystery, Christie-style.
Do they have a cathedral up there? Bad things seem to happen if Russian ‘tourists’ visit the local churches.
One of the astronauts wanted to make the whole crew "one with the universe"?
That would be some scary Event Horizon stuff.
