Yeah... Maybe also figure out who drilled that hole!

  Regardless of who did it, that it happened at all is very worrying for the suitability of humans for long term living in space habitats.

    It is worrying for the state of the Russian aerospace industry. This has become a pattern.

    The state of Russia's space program on the ground is not good. It's kind of shocking that they've managed to maintain the reliability of their Soyuz and ISS-related operations to date, more or less, but it was always just a matter of time until those things started unraveling too.

  It's probably the same guy who was trying to mount sensors upside-down, and they didn't fit, so he had to take out an old trusty drill
  • toiletaccount 5y ago
    well his job was to mount the damn sensors

      You are not wrong. :) This is one video of a launch failure which was eventually traced back to an upside down installed attitude sensor: https://youtu.be/ycRVAcZC5R4 https://youtu.be/ycRVAcZC5R4

        At 27 seconds into that video you already know it won't end well.

  If I remember correctly wasn’t it an employee covering up a mistake, that to fully replace the damaged panel would’ve required disassembling/ rebuilding a large part of it from scratch? Edit: Ah, my mistake. Apparently some years prior that happened, but was caught before the Soyuz capsule launched. If the person responsible for that incident got disappeared, I could imagine whoever made that hole wanted to cover up any mistake
