Hate to say it, but I'm buying the Russian story.

I’d believe it more if they said she cracked the hull when she threw one of her heels at it. If you’re going to lie, lie big.

She wouldn’t be the first female astronaut to go nuts. Remember Lisa Nowak?

Hate to say it, but I'm not automatically buying the NASA story.

The Wikipedia entry description of her flight is exactly one sentence long.

Expedition 56/57 Edit
She launched on Soyuz MS-09 on 6 June 2018 for a six-month mission to the ISS,[9] and returned 20 December 2018 for a mission duration of 196 days 17 hours and 49 minutes.[10]

The next sentence says she is no longer flight eligible and has been moved into management.

Its not just NASA denying the story, the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos is also denying the story.

Russian modules leaking air is common.

"Bad news for astronauts and cosmonauts alike: The International Space Station (ISS) is continuing to lose pressure after Russian attempts to patch cracks in the outpost's hole have failed to stem leaks.

Leaks in the Zvezda service module of the Russian segment of the ISS have plagued the laboratory over the last year. One leak was patched last year and pair of new ones cropped up in January."

Was it period time?

"On September 3, Russian state news agency RIA Novosti cited reports that the hole was drilled by a worker at Energiya, the corporation that manufactures Soyuz rockets. Upon noticing the error, the employee allegedly plugged the hole with glue, which explained why it was discovered neither during preflight testing nor during the first two months of the space mission."

This article says after returning she was treated for a blood clot in her jugular vein. Russians claim that dealing with this led her to try to sabotage the station in order to return home.

Now, I’m not a medical person but wouldn’t a blood clot in your neck be an emergency and lead to an emergency evacuation?

[Jeff Chandler]

Who can we believe anymore?

[Political Junkie Too]

The Russians wouldn't be making this allegation if President Trump were still in office.

Just saying...

[Jeff Chandler]

Why, she looks stable to me.

[.44 Special]

Irregardless of whether she drilled the whole or not, I have no faith in anything the government hast to say. The government is illegitimate and corrupt.

"Hate to say it, but I'm buying the Russian story.
