International Space Station springs a leak!

Just caught the end of the report when I turned the TV. On this morning! The ISS has a small leak, which apparently they were able to fix with gaffer tape! With no cause for concern.

You missed the first bit of the report - before he found the gaffer tape and 'plugged' the hole, like the little Dutch boy, he stuck his finger in the hole.

So none of them was chewing gum at the time? That would have Solved the problem.

It seems things are under control and the part of the space station where there is a fault was due to be ditched anyway.
