We've been hearing stories about the ongoing leaks on the ISS for years now, but a recent story highlighted NASA's concerns with a plan that might have been far more risky.
I wanted to go back and explain the nature of the problem, and how the repairs are more than just slapping flex seal tape over the cracks. An accepted way to fix cracks in thin sheets is to drill a clean hole to distribute the stress over a larger area, stopping the crack from propagating further.
