Sabotage aboard the International Space Station? MORE evidence of 'drilling' has been found in the docked Soyuz spacecraft, Russia claims
The ISS experienced a drop in pressure due to an air leak overnight to August 30 A top official in Moscow claimed last week the damage was caused by a drill Now Russian sources say more extensive evidence of 'drilling' has been found
Alarming new traces of 'drilling' have been found on a Soyuz spacecraft docked with the International Space Station, Russian sources revealed today.
Moscow had already hinted at possible sabotage over damage found to the Soyuz MS-09 and a major whodunnit investigation is underway.
Officials have claimed the damage to the spacecraft appears to have been caused by a drill, and could have occurred on the ground pre-launch - or while in orbit.
Now a source close to the Russian space agency Roscosmos has admitted the damage was more extensive than previously thought.
'Traces of drilling have been found not only inside the spacecraft's living compartment,' said the source.
The damage was also 'on the screen of the anti-meteorite shield that covers the spacecraft from the outside and is installed 15 millimetres from the pressurised hull'.

Cabin fever?
How long have the astronauts been up there?
Mice.
Was the drilling from the inside or the outside?
I’m not saying it’s Aliens, but it’s Aliens
Sometimes you get a million dollars in to a part and you make a mistake.
If it is not critical you repair it rather than scrap the whole thing and start over.
You would never achieve anything if you only have perfection.

Looks like BOTH inside and out...
The Russians are saying it was made from the inside, possibly by someone on the ground before launch.

2 millimeters is quite small and gives (gave) the crew lots of time to isolate and fix the problem. If it were real sabotage, they would have drilled something quite a bit bigger.
So it may have been accidental?

I see no reason to hide the mistake when the Russian space agency can just replace the part for about 5 times what the worker makes annually.
Got Flex Tape.
Any Indians aboard the space station, or at the factory making parts? I heard that when they make rugs, they intentionally put a flaw in the pattern because only the almighty can make perfection.
Here we go again PING...
Mueller has mobilized his team to investigate this clear case of efforts to effect an election.
All Right. Who smuggled the woodpecker aboard?
Great episode. WIlliam Shatner, right?
