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."
Whatever it is wants in?
10 bucks says when they open the door, it's a pair of spacewalking Jehovah's Witnesses.
IAALS.
Russian space travelers - Cosmonauts
American space travelers - Astronauts.
That's the difference.
I'm starting to think this isn't the best place to promote my Anti-Sig Campaign.
The only difference is the words' origin. But it means same thing.
Astronaut = American
Cosmonaut = Russian
Taikonaut = Chinese
No Dave, I haven't taken up the drums. I think you should go check on that noise, Dave. No Dave, you don't need any of your emergency equipment, I'll keep you nice and safe Dave. Now go have a good time on your space walk, Dave.
It's a poltergeist: the ISS was built on an Indian cemetary.

I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.
I didn't know Darl McBride owned a space shuttle...
There's some THING on the wing!

I could go on, but you'd probably form a lynch mob.

You're right, a joist in my house settles and I wake up at 3 a.m. unable to get back to sleep. Just think how I'd fare with a gimpy airlock... I am such a sissy.

"Two dollars!!!"
What's Russian for "fool of a Took!"?
Here's a trick I learned from all the noisy (usually metalic and exhaust sounds) Honda Civics driving around town... If you don't feel like fixing the source of the noise, drown it out with head-splitting bass!
I'm sure the engineers at NASA will have no trouble designing a high-powered space space station stereo system with plenty of earth-shattering-kaboom bass. After you've got that bitchin' system, you can focus on more important things - like installing a nice spoiler or some spinner solar panels. Even when you're in orbit, your ride must be pimp.

Yeah, at least Blair would have.
