The ISS's structural integrity is far more marginal than is being publicly discussed. We are having multiple, and increasingly frequent, leaks from heavily fatigued node segments in the Russian section. When Aluminum gets flexed it fatigues and gets harder, increasing its tendency to crack. Cracks concentrate forces at their tips, and spread over time. Multiple cracks have been discovered. There is no "factor of safety" associated with this failure mode. None of the structural pressure vessels are meant to crack. We are not even single fault tolerant on the structural integrity of the station. We could wake up tomorrow and find, with zero warning, that it has failed catastrophically. Whether that means a leak slow enough to close some hatches, get the crew out or at least into safer parts of the station, is a roll of the dice. It could also depressurize in less than a minute.

The Axiom-4 mission is postponed indefinitely while NASA and Roscosmos investigate a leak on the Russian side of the International Space Station.

Hard to explain what the @integratron out in Joshua Tree actually is. Google it. Weird as S@*t.

@united and then late boarders get to do what I wasn’t permitted to do. Didn’t need to be rude to me, obstinate, and too unwilling to use your eyes to see if the overheads were actually full or not.

@united not allowed to even try to put a bag in overhead. Forced to check, when I have to meet a minor on the other end of flight. I guess being a lifetime #millionmiler doesn’t mean squat.

@PPathole @elonmusk @elonmusk don’t forget the average age of those founding ‘fathers’ we revere so much… was 44, and a dozen were under 35. They were young, with new radical and revolutionary ideas!

"I don't think we should try to have people live for a really long time. That'd cause asphyxiation of society because the truth is, most people don't change their mind. They just die. So if they don't die, we will be stuck with old ideas and society wouldn't advance." — @elonmusk

I don’t care if you’re on the left, center, or right... be a true American and vote. While you’re at it I’ll suggest (rather than presume to tell you) that you consider voting for the person you’d actually like to have as a husband, father, uncle, grandfather, boss, or friend.
