Who Caused That Mysterious Leak At The International Space Station?

NPR: Who Caused The Mysterious Leak At The International Space Station?

Russian officials are saying that a tiny leak at the International Space Station was likely caused by a human hand. Now, they're trying to figure out who did it, why they did it and whether it happened in space or on the ground.

The crew identified the source of the leak as a 2-millimeter hole in the upper section of a Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft, which is docked in the Russian section of the space station.

"We don't reject any theories," said Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia's state space agency Roscosmos, according to state news agency TASS. He added that they're aiming "to find out whether it was an accidental defect or a deliberate spoilage and where it was done ... we will find out, without fail."

WNU Editor: I find it hard to believe that someone did it deliberately. What is more believable is an accident/error in the plant where the space station was built.

Cnn: when Trump gets extorted by a pornstar, the porn star is the saint and "courageous"

If a lead woman of the meToo movement gets caught up in lies and paid money to a child she raped, CNN barely touches the story until the lawyer of besaid woman accuses the child of being the extortionist, flipping the script, so to say

Ie. On Cnn rapists and pornstars are right and the protected through journalism that only covers the side that fits cnn's agenda. Trust the porn star and the liar of the metoo movement. Trust them. Cnn.

"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."

"CO2 levels in space are arising at alarming rates as a result of President Donald Trump's gutting Mr. Obama's plan to save the known universe and beyond using Chinese solar panels, carbon free power from wind gadgetry, his own hot air reducing the need for Americans' home heating with fossil fuels, and, of course, strategic investments in companies such as Solyndra. Coupled with H2O in the space ship's atmosphere there was a dangerous uptick in carbonic acid levels and hence dissolution of the Russian low quality glue used to patch the hole in the space station."
"See...it's all Trump's fault", proclaimed CNN.
