ISS Leak Update
NASA and Russian space officials have announced that air pressure aboard the International Space Station is stable once again. Even though the leak appears to have stopped, it's worth noting that ISS carries back-up air supplies which would have been capable of maintaining air pressure on Station for several months had it continued. In unrelated news, the crew will today use the engines of a docked Russian Progress to move the station into a higher orbit. And here's an interesting stat I hadn't seen before--ISS moves about 660 feet closer to Earth every day.
