Should’ve splurged and used duct tape.

"It was said that those guilty of the incident have been found and will be punished accordingly." I wonder if that statement is as ominous as it was in the USSR.

Every spacecraft should have a roll of duct tape and a can of WD-40.

300 years of serfdom under the Czars, 75 years of Bolshevik Styled Communism, and crony Capitalism has produced a society without a work ethic.
From experience, My Company hired software developers in Moscow to work on out flagship systems, only to discover that they left bugs ( not intentional spy-ware but just crap) which tool years to find and fix.

Almost. These days instead of sending them to a gulag in Siberia, they force them to immigrate to Chicago...

Humans make mistakes. I was trying to ventilate my attic once and drilled right through my roof shingles. Thankfully the roofers were still there (new build) and fixed it in about 5 minutes.
The REAL QUESTION is whether the guys in the shop are taught to SPEAK UP and get the right people looking at a mistake, or something weird - or are they too scared to do that. Had the (informal) ‘field fix’ held (in this case), we wouldn’t be reading about it. But the people making the fix were likely not qualified to consider the entire life cycle of that fix, so their fix didn’t make it long-term.
The key is having an environment where people are NEVER afraid to speak up if they do something wrong, or see something wrong. In the category of “we’re not much better” A little known tidbit that I found on the web, years ago, looking up Space Shuttle systems (since removed) - the launch right after the Columbia explosion (which killed 7) nearly had the same outcome. Seems that half of their pyrotechnic initiators were missing o-rings. Nearly caused the huge External Tank to NOT separate after launch, leading to a non-nominal outcome (i.e., dead crew). The techs knew something was funny - some had o-rings, some didn’t, but some career-climbing Leftist (probably) had them too scared to SPEAK UP and point out the likely issue.

When it space, the glue plug reduced in size and popped out. I guess the vacuum of space is cold.
To: BenLurkin
Thats because Russians dont have duct tape.

A friend once used silly putty to fix a leaking gasoline line. The fire department thought that was funny.
