🧵 ISS Leaking AIr

Anonymous No. 16479177

Just after 2 astronauts were stranded on the ISS for 200 days on an 8-day mission, the ISS is now discovered to be leaking air.

The 2 astronauts are stuck on the ISS, and they're quickly running out of oxygen. Time is ticking.

Who can save these stranded astronauts?

How is this piece of technology, which costs $3,000,000,000 a year to run ($150,000,000,000 total to develop + launch), failing this badly?

Dunno but small caliber hypervelocity rounds are famous for causing concussions in soldiers wearing helmets and that's just at mach 2-3. A grain of sand is obviously smaller but going mach 5 and concentrating all that kinetic energy into such a small point sounds fatal especially if you're not wearing a helmet.

I'd much rather take my chances with a plasma rifle melting part of my face off.

OP is referencing Boeing's shit heap which had so much trouble getting to the ISS that NASA decided to return the capsule without crew. It "stranded" 2 astronauts in that for 19 days there wasn't enough American seats to actually evacuate the crew until the Crew-9 mission on SpaceX's Dragon arrived with 2 other astronauts and 2 empty seats. If they had to they would have been strapped to the cargo area of the Crew-8's Dragon that was docked.

The 200 days comes from the time extra the astronauts spent in space as NASA and Boeing debated a return and Crew 9's expected return to earth.

is right. only energy really matters.

btw, that video (>>16479193) is a 3 mm aluminum sphere at >mach 20. it should weigh about 21 mg. a typical grain of sand is <1 mm in diameter and weighs about 0.05 mg.
with E_kin = 0.5mv^2, the difference in energy is a factor of about 6700. so no, a grain of sand at mach 5 is not THAT scary. in fact, to reach the same energy, the grain of sand would have to travel at mach 410.
also keep in mind that mass scales to the cube of size. so a smaller object has to be disproportionally faster for the same energy. which is why small, high-velocity particles mostly aren't a threat.

It can have 1000,000,00000 bajillion jewls of energy but it won't matter because what matters is how much energy gets transferred to you. if a piece of sand punches all the way through your head then most of the energy is still in the sand. on the other hand if the sand only goes through your skull and half of your brain then it's worse because now you have sand stuck in your brain.
I think the proton caused so much damage because there was more than 1 of them and they also fuck with atoms and ionize shit more than a simple physical objet travelling at normal-ish speeds that aren't represented as fractions of c.

at sub-atomic sizes we are dealing with completely different mechanisms of interacting with matter. and in the particle accelerator case, the issue wasn't a single proton, as you already figured. it was a whole beam of protons.
ever heard of alpha radiation? it's helium nuclei (i.e. 2 protons, 2 neutrons), typically at 5 to 7 % the speed of light. while it's the most dangerous type of radiation, singular hits won't harm you. (in fact, your skin already stops it, the biggest danger is in ingesting an alpha emitter.)

It landed without a problem but Boeing couldn't guarantee the safety of astronauts aboard, so the decision was made to not use it.

So it's great it returned safely, but Boeing already screwed the pooch and it kinda doesn't matter that the capsule landed alright.

I wouldn't be shocked if starliner never launches again, or at most 1 or 2 more times and then never again. Unless Boeing can find someone to buy starliner off of them.

Maybe MAYBE blue origin would buy starliner for New Glenn, but unlikely as New Glenn has a 7 meter diameter whereas SLS has an 8 meter diameter that tapers down to around 5 meters where the capsule is staged. I guess they could do some adapter stage, but yea blue origin has supposedly been working internally on a New Glenn crew capsule for over a year, so they likely aren't too interested in purchasing starliner anyway.

No it doesn't.

The ISS is effectively a 241,867 gallon air tank at 14.7 psi, space is 0 PSI. That's not a massive pressure difference, it's not like a submarine under 10000 meters of water getting crushed by ~15500 PSI.

When you're dealing with 14-15 PSI vs 0 PSI and you've got a tiny pinprick hole, it's quite a slow leak, it would likely take days with zero oxygen generation before it became an issue.

How is a 15 PSI pressure differential going to be catastrophic?

Remember Delta P videos where the crab gets liquidified? That's from there being a MASSIVE pressure difference.
The byford dolphin incident was caused by going from 132 PSI to 15 PSI. That's a large pressure difference.

Going from 0 PSI to 15 PSI is nothing in comparison, and is equivalent to diving 10 meters under water. Barely noticeable.

>Would NASA really lie about one of their astronauts going crazy?

There is historic precedence for this! On the space shuttle mission STS-51-B the payload specialist Taylor Wang (chinese-american) threatened to murder-suicide the entire crew by opening up the hatch. He was upset because his experiment wasn't working and mission control wouldn't give him time to fix it, so he told them that if he wasn't allowed to fix his experiment he wouldn't be coming home. Then he started asking other crew members about the hatch door
>so if I turn that handle, all the air in the shuttle goes right out??
The rest of the crew was obviously disturbed and duct-taped the hatch closed just to be safe. On a few subsequent missions, the shuttle commander brought a padlock along with him and padlocked the hatch closed once in orbit, just in case anybody went crazy again.

So here's the NASA lying angle: NASA never discllosed this incident to the public. When asked about the padlocks on the hatch doors, they claimed that the padlocks were merely there to prevent an astronaut from accidentally bumping into the handle. They framed it as a safety measure meant to prevent accidents, not a response to the threat of an astronaut going crazy and murder-suiciding the whole crew. NASA covered up the mental health problem out of concern for their public image.

All of this is documented here: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/solving-a-nasa-mystery-why-did-space-shuttle-commanders-lock-the-hatch/

And then NASA had to go fake the tracking information that shows their astronauts didn't enter the Russian segment at the time it happened.

No.. the problem is that it does exist. It's a fucking 1970s tech dumpster circling the earth fast enough to not fall into it. And we keep sending autismos up there to take picture with floating apples or observe the growth of mold in microgravity for no reason other than to use up the 3 billion dollars of grant money or else it goes away.

The thing is a fucking useless monkey sink and nothing more. No one gives a fuck about NASA.

Yeah, the damage a projective does is highly reliant on it's mass. A 50 cal is pretty devastating because it's big and heavy. Like anon said, a grain of sand going at mach 999 would just go straight through you, and cause a little bit of damage but you would 100% survive pretty much no matter where it hit.

thats the idea but it still doesnt really work when you consider HOW modern boolits actually do such enormous tissue damage. a tiny piece of dust would have to be going so fast it basically undergoes nuclear fusion and turns into a bomb to do meaningful "damage" to a living target

if it's going only mach 5 it will go through you and leave a very small hole like you rolled over onto a sewing needle in the night. it will heal before the end of the day.

It sounds like that grain of sand going mach 5 would compress the bone abd cause that to "explode" inside your skull. Most people don't have empty skulls and all that liquid and soft tissue is going to further absorb all that energy left by the grain of sand turning into a micro shotgun pellet round. Alternatively it disintegrates on impact and converts all that kinetic energy into the blunt force trauma of getting hit in the head with a baseball bat.

In otherwords I'm seriously doubting that grain of sand going mach 5 is just going to carve out a clean surgical hole. Because YES it's light in mass but accelerated to mach 5? Are you sure you're doing the energy calculations right?

No, it's a "volts and amps" situation. 5.56 is too, even 5.7mm has 3000fps loads.
50cal has a pretty high velocity, but no, the difference between it and most small arms is that it's big and heavy.
Of course, both are needed. But just high velocity with a small mass won't do anything much.

>>16479430
Probably not, it's too small and also too hard. While sand (a small rock) is lower density than a lead bullet, it is harder and will penetrate more easily, cutting through whoever is hit.

the ISS isn't made of cheese

explosive decompression is failure of the material around the hole. for example, a compressed gas bottle whose valve comes off, the valve itself might have more pressure directed on some parts than it can handle and basically it'll fly apart and the valve flying away might rip some material with it, that material is now compromised, so the hole isn't just where the valve was before it fucking disintegrated is a little bigger than before

but even pressurized tanks don't normally "explode" after being punctured. the hole will get bigger as air or other media rushes out but the bigger danger on human scales is that it's not even 10m3 of air "in nanoseconds" it actually takes a while but the pressure at that hole is so high that it can injure you. but in a 1atm to 0 atm differential and you're in the 1atm side the flow rate is unlikely to be that high

pressure vessel failures are usually not as dramatic and theatrical as you would think

this. 50 reks you because it has the mass to cause damage over a wide area. bullets dont just enter you whole. they compress and distribute the force over a wider area. armor piercing variants don't just pass through whole either, they carry a penetrator inside teh lead so the lead smashes your ceramic armor plates/pancakes against the armor while the penetrator rod gets to go way faster than it had any right to for its size and go through the now compromised armor (or brick wall or whatever

Did you ever here of LDEF? It was an orbiting platform for loads of different experiments including several dealing with micrometoeroid impacts in LEO and the effects on various materials/combinations of materials. In the 5 years it was up there (before a shuttle brought it down) there wasn't really much to cause any concern, even when looking at the effect on Beta Cloth, which was used on the Apollo EVA suits and is still used on the ISS for some external layers.

With more and more stuff moving around up there (LDEF was done before the ISS was constructed) its possible that such damage could come from some bits of junk, but it more likely that the ISS is just getting old, and various seals etc are wearing out. That would make finding the leak a lot harder than if a hole was punched through.

no exactly true. there have been a couple experiments involving embyros, pregnant rats and also rats that got pregnant on board the ISS. from the little i read it seems that development is fine, at least until later in human pregnancies when theres an idea that the baby wont 'drop' properly, and also some question about sperm motility.

nope. you're right that it's usually just cheap steel but the penetrator is inside the boolit. the jacket is to reduce wear on barrels/buildup of lead, and is usually made of copper.

hat you're thinking of is where the teflon coated boolit meme came from -- older more primitive AP ammo would use a steel jacket instead of copper (or nothing) and it would lead to increased wear on the rifling. one company started marketing "teflon coated AP bullets" that were meant to not wear so much and slide down the barrel more easily without wrecking it. but because americans are stupid, they thought the teflon is what made it AP and started calling them COP KILLER BULLETS and shit

modern AP ammo uses a penetrator with some lead around it and then the usual copper jacket mostly because it reduces wear on the gun itself but having that inside out arrangement offers basically the same performance if not better and modern tooling doesn't make it meaningfully more expensive to make. as for the "hard tip" sometimes the penetrator does poke out the end of the round, it depends on the specific manufacturer, and lore of "green tip" ammo comes from the military where AP ammo is simply painted green so you can identify loose bullets easily.

you may also be thinking of JSP bullets, but those are the literal opposite; they're "hollowpoints" and the idea is the metal jacket on the outside is supposed only delay expansion, not prevent it. it's not meant for hard armor, more for thick clothing and stab plates and stuff so it still pancakes and delivers all that energy but hopefully only after passing through your leather jacket so it can shatter your rib cage instead
