Russian lawmaker wonders if a mentally unbalanced, ‘homesick’ cosmonaut drilled that hole into the International Space Station
Russian State Duma deputy Maxim Suraev says the hole discovered last week in the “Soyuz” Russian module aboard the International Space Station may have been drilled deliberately by a mentally unbalanced, homesick cosmonaut. “We’re all living people, and we might all want to go home, but going about it like this is completely disgraceful. If this was some cosmonaut’s trick (and we can’t rule it out), then this is very bad,” Suraev stated on September 4.
