International Space Station facing irreparable failures, Russia warns
The crew aboard the #ISS are on standby for a #possible #evacuation due to leaks. It's also at risk of being hit by micro meteorites. I think there's a group that want the station gone before an impending event or it could be a staged distraction away from the election.

Quote NASA's astronauts aboard the International Space Station have been told to prepare for an urgent evacuation amid growing safety concerns.
The US #space agency and its Russian counterpart, Roscomos, are tracking 50 'areas of concern' related to a growing leak aboard the station.
NASA is now calling the cracks in a Russian service module a 'top safety risk' - escalating the threat rating to five out of five.
In 2019 it was noted that the module had begun to leak a small amount of air through an unidentified crack.
However, despite efforts to seal the module, the amount of air escaping the station has only increased over the last five years.
In February this year, NASA was forced to hold a press conference on the issue as the amount of air escaping temporarily increased from 0.2 lbs per day (0.09 kg) to 2.4 lbs (1.08 kg) per day.
A report published in September by NASA's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) confirmed that the leak then hit record rates in April - losing 3.7 lbs (1.68 kg) of air every day.
This has prompted the space agency to escalate the threat rating to the highest level and consider plans for evacuation.
