Space Station Leak Found, Fixed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-more-whooshing dept.

Rommel writes "NewScientist.com is reporting that the cause of the leak in the International Space Station has been found and fixed. The leak was found in a hose in the Destiny lab module. The hose was used to equalize pressure and eliminate fog between two panes of a window. While the leak was so slow it was unlikely to pose a direct threat to the crew for months to come, some equipment on the ISS is only certified to operate above a certain air pressure. The leak was originally mentioned on Slashdot a few days back."

    Mod down, overrated. Not to mention it's a female poster, and women don't know much about anything except spreading their legs and collecting vaginamony.

  4. How they fixed the leak? by b0lt · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Did they jettison half of the space station, or use bubble gum instead?

    Since the leak was found in an American-made part of the space station, then that must mean that your President is an idiot! Had Gore been rightfully installed as president, the leak would never had occurred. Anyone who can invent the Internet knows not to put a leaky hose in a space station!

    In short, this article tells me: SHRUB IS AN IDIOT, AND AMERICA SUCKS.
