Loud Metallic Noise Heard at ISS

Posted by michael on from the pieces-falling-off dept.

Z4rd0Z writes "Russian Cosmonauts at the International Space Station today heard a loud drumlike noise for the second time since November. The sound seemed to be coming from the same place as before. In February a space walk to find the source of the sound was cut short."

    Russian space travelers - Cosmonauts
    American space travelers - Astronauts.

    That's the difference.

    The only difference is the words' origin. But it means same thing.

    Astronaut = American

    Cosmonaut = Russian

    Taikonaut = Chinese
