Quoted: But not very much, comrade. I think that's pretty normal. If they're not always leaking *some* air, they are at least occasionally. Quoted: More like Ivan sucks at welding and or QC. Or it could be that it's been up there for 20 years, getting hammered on by space debris. |

News flash. Pressure vessels leak. And leakage rates (effective-area basis) typically increase as time goes on.
Air and space vehicles have leakage specs, and leakage is one of the major sustainability issues for vehicles venturing beyond Earth orbit. The Russians are acutely aware of leakage and the consequences. And Americans, and anybody else, would be foolhardy to overlook the broader scope and take the myopic view of this being a Russian problem. |

Leaks like this make me wonder why they coat in the inside in a thin layer of rubber. Yes I know its weight that has to be lifted up there but if its bonded to skin on the inside it might even hold it together if there was a larger oh shit leak, long enough to get to the escape capsule anyway.

Shitty thing to say, but even if it was catastrophic and everyone died.....
 Rrmember the thread earlier about "Things a lot of people care about that you don't", well outer space and its exploration is one of mine. To me it is only good for cool pictures. Only thing I would say is "condolences to your families." |

A few years ago, didn't someone accidentally punch a hole in the skin and do the equivalent of putting a poster over the hole and not tell any one?
ETA: found the article, from 2018https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/someone-drilled-hole-international-space-station-180970208/ Instead, they suggest the craft was damaged during testing at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan after passing initial safety checks, and someone hastily covered up the mistake. The sealant they used to cover the hole could have then dried up and fallen off after the craft reached the ISS. |
