Loud Metallic Noise Heard at ISS

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."

"Would it be better if I flat out lied and pretended to feel strongly?"

Would it kill you to try? What you're saying in essence is that if you saw a baby on a railroad track with the 5:30 from Pittsburg bearing down on it, and that baby wasn't a close friend or relative, you'd have a tough time working up the requisite concern to scoop said child off the track. They have a word for that in psychological circles: sociopath. Granted, requesting that you burst out in tears for a couple of complete strangers in a space station hundreds of miles above your head in non-iminent danger is a bit of a stretch, but nobody asked you to do that. Actually, no one asked you anything, but you felt it neccesary to enlighten us that you feel nothing for anyone that you "don't personally know". Somehow, you felt that this was a reaction with some exchangeable parity with sincere, if somewhat muffled, sympathy. Call us back, Mr. Grinch, when your heart isn't two sizes too small.
