Vital ammonia coolant is leaking from the International Space Station, NASA officials say.
No danger in the immediate to the astronauts on the station, so sayseth the news sources…
But the headline just seems creepy.
I am amazed by space and all that goes with it. When I was a kid, watching APOLLO 13 in theaters, I began to realize how scary it would be to have some tragic happen in space. Also during the movie, my friends and I got yelled at by others because of how many jokes we were making during the film.. It was MST3000 era film-viewing, after all.
Nonetheless, this story of the space station coolant problem just cannot be good. It would be if a truck was leaking it, or a car.. but a space station? No need to panic, I suppose.
