So they weren't kidding about the space toilets?

“...a repair kit will be used.”

Also known as Duct Tape!

“The spaceship will be kept, a repair kit will be used.”

Just head over to the nearest Space Station Depot and pick up a patch kit.

The only confirmed leak having to do with Russia over the past two years…

Where is the Space Force when you need it?

Ping.

I’ll have to check out the sky when it passes my area. That would be pretty cool to see the ISS flying around like when you release the air from a balloon.

The leak was slow and posed no danger to people on board, according to NASA, with mission control deciding that crew members could sleep before locating it.

"Yeeeeaaahhh.... that's okay, NASA, I'll stay up."

[M Kehoe]

It’s the Russians fault.

So, where’s the duct tape?

It’s no secret that duct tape is an important tool to the NASA program. In fact, a roll goes up on every flight that leaves the launchpad. Good thing, too... Duct Tape has actually saved lives and equipment in space.

I’ve got 30 years of experience in the sealant industry.

Depending on the size of the hole, an inside repair would be called for. The pressure will help to push the sealant into the hole and further seal it.

They may end up drilling some small holes to terminate the crack and prevent further spread.

Duct tape may actually be sufficient. I’m certain they have some very high end chemical and physical patching materials onboard. The chemicals will either be two-part chemical cure or cured with ultraviolet light.

traditional sealants require moisture and oxygen to cure.

There is no ISS.

"...Space Station air leak..."

Well, that certainly puts work problems into perspective.

Fake leak on a fake station. YAWN

[READINABLUESTATE]

I’m suprised this hasn’t happened more frequently.
If I were on the space station the thought of micro meteors hitting would keep me up at the designated sleep period.

Outside Fort Worth, Texas there was a funky museum where this old guy put together an array of Soviet cosmonaut accouterments used in space. They put all their food in tubes like toothpaste. He had one that was filled with potatoes, probably 40 years old by now. That would make an excellent glue.

Lemme check and see if he has any left.
