A Russian official has said the International Space Station leak (pictured) could have been caused by deliberate sabotage. A leading theory from an unnamed source at Russia's Energia space manufacturing company has said that the hole was made on the ground

First thought was MMOD strike.
Then NASA released pics. Lots of people: "Hmmm, doesn't look like MMOD". NASA deleted the photos.

Phys.org: Russia says space station leak could be deliberate sabotage
Russia launched checks Tuesday after its space chief said an air leak on the International Space Station last week could have been deliberate sabotage.
Space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin said the hole detected Thursday in a Russian space craft docked at the orbiting station was caused by a drill and could have been done deliberately, either back on Earth or by astronauts in space.
Astronauts used tape to seal the leak after it caused a small loss of pressure that was not life-threatening.
"There were several attempts at drilling," Rogozin said late Monday in televised comments.
He added 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."

Wait, what!?
Which country is NOT there currently? China?
I’m sure there must be some space version of Splash Zone they can slap on there.
Call Phil swift for some FLEX TAPE!!!!
This feels a little Murder on the Orient Express. . .
All the astronauts had a motive to drill a hole in the space station!
Uh oh, NASA deleted the photos. Ah-Ha, roared Sherlocksi Holmsvitch.
Nonetheless, kinda strange.
"Worker during the assembly of the ship Soyuz drilled a hole in the hull by mistake and concealed it. The hole was covered with glue, which degraded in space and was issued by the atmosphere of the ISS."
Guys ..don't be stupid. We all know this was likely acid blood by one of those space Alien's Scott and Ripley tried to warn us about..you know that space doesn't send us their best. Lots of rapists among them.
