nothing to see, the occupants are fine and in no danger..

[digger48]

maybe NASA just needs a little Muslim Outreach to reach up there and fix it?

Arrrrggh! We’re polluting outer space! We’re all gonna freeze to death while we ignite in ammonia flames! /sarc

"A minor leak of this ammonia was first noticed in 2007, and NASA has been studying the issue ever since."

Government in action.

Call the new Transportation Secretary to build a trolley to the Space Station. ;-)

rewiring some coolant lines

Coolant lines are now wire. Who knew?

Journalists are idiots.

A minor leak of this ammonia was first noticed in 2007, and NASA has been studying the issue ever since.

From my experience in large organizations, it's just about time to form a committee to set up a meeting schedule to define the agenda for a focus group to consider discussing the problem.

Just imagine when this kind of problem pops up for the “one way ticket to Mars” settlement.

Hell yah. I’m fixing to plumb in my new road lights on my rock crawler, just have to find the right fittings. Sure hope they aren’t metric.

[penelopesire]

First thing I noticed too....lol.

Pathetic!

Well, it could be worse. If they were leaking Freon 21 the EPA would drive up there and shut them down for polluting!

My son has one of those Jeep rock crawlers. His is a bright orange, so he calls it The Great Pumpkin. 36 inch wheels on that sucker!

Just send a repair crew and parts up on the next shuttle.

[SteveH]

They should just use an astronaut “depends.” :-)

We need a space hazmat team. If we let R12 or 134a or anything like that out in the air we get arrested.

[thackney]

Somebody send up some Rednecks who understand how to fix these things.

[JRandomFreeper]

Fer gosh sakes don't spill any 'lektrikity.

2007? LOL. If you discover a slow leak in a tire on your riding lawnmower, I could understand putting it off for 6 years, but it seems that fixing this leak might have been a wee bit more important.

Obama would never leave behind an American in harms way, so we know not to worry. Besides, Obama’s Muslim NASA will figure it all out. Heck, we would have never made it to the Moon without all of those Ali Baba wizards.
