Late August 2018.
International Space Station pressure began to drop sharply causing the real threat of
losing the station and six astronauts lives.
It was a very real and distinct possibility of losing this marvel of engineering and crown
achievement of mankind.
Thankfully, the astronauts discovered a hole in the hull and compensated for the pressure
loss by supercharging air from the tanks of the Progress space truck that was very fortunately
docked to the ISS at that time.
So, today there are two versions of what happened: 1) the hole was made by aliens;
2) the hole was made by astronauts or cosmonauts on the ISS.
Today, you will hear the real version of what happened and it will blow you mind.
You will not find this information anywhere else but in this book, provided exclusively
to us by Russian Space Agency insiders.
Last year, the crew of six people was on the ISS: Russians Oleg Artemyev and Sergei Prokopiev,
German Alexander Gerst, Americans Andrew Fustel (crew commander), Richard Arnold and Serena
Anunon.
Serena Anunon, as you understand, is the representative of the so-called weaker sex, if this expression
is applicable under the conditions of weightlessness and the lack of gravity.
August 8, 2018.
Around noon GMT, flight engineer Serena Anunon closes for half an hour in the high-tech toilet
"Waste and Hygiene Compartment", which is the pride of American astronautics, after
that the astro-toilet fails permanently and was rendered beyond repair.
August 21, 2018.
The crew commander, Andrew Fustel, has long talk with Russian cosmonauts, in obscene terms,
describes diapers and “this damn woman,” and strongly requests permission to go to
the toilet in the Russian module.
Russian cosmonauts report to the management about the problem, but the Flight Control
Center does not coordinate this decision, since Russian bathroom and its reservoirs
are designed only for two people and "they simply will not stand the triple load."
In addition, Russia and the United States relationship are at it's lowest point since
the Cold War, so Americans and German astronauts are forced to wear diapers in the space station.
There are two toilets on the space station: one in the Russian segment, and one in the
United States modules.
But both have been balky, breaking and requiring on-orbit plumbing jobs to get them working
again.
In May 2009, the system was installed to covert recycled urine into clean drinking water,
and is also recycled into water for bathing and food preparation.
"It's sort of one of those horrible and fascinating kind of things," said astronaut Sandra Magnus,
who was living on the station when the urine recycling system was installed.
"We're drinking processed water that started as urine."
August 22, 2018.
The American astronauts and the German, who joined them, lead a stormy dialog with Aunon
with the question “Where are we now should put used diapers, after filling in all the
standard garbage containers?”
It was decided to temporarily store diapers in A7L suits designed for going out to outer
space.
Meanwhile, Serena Anunon is constantly crying, saying that the "ISS now smells disgusting"
and requires a special treatment to her, because she is a woman.
August 23, 2018.
Crew commander Andrew Fustel reports to Houston about the critical situation in the American
segment and requests to send a ship to evacuate Serena Anunon “for health reasons,” but
Houston denies saying that “the money for diaper evacuation are not included in the
NASA expedition budget.”
Serena Anunon continues crying.
August 24, 2018.
A serious conflict arises in the American segment of the ISS, caused by the fact that
Serena Anunon is outraged by the unsanitary conditions in the zero gravity, and that she
"no longer intends to constantly carry diapers, sniff and watch all this poop that flies across
the entire segment," she is trying to beat the space plates on the floor and seizes the
German who fell under her hot hand in zero gravity.
August 25, 2018.
Russian cosmonauts go into outer space to carry out work on the orbiting of four nanosatellites,
installing the antenna of the Russian-German experiment “ICARUS” and disposing of two
spent electronic units, which then must be burned in the atmosphere.
The astronauts categorically refuse to dispose containers with American diapers into the
space since this is not part of their flight mission.
At the same time, the flight engineer Serena Anunon, imperceptibly for others, penetrates
the toilet of the Russian segment, locks in the toilet, pulls out a portable electric
drill from wide space trousers and, with a cry of despair, drills a hole in the wall
of the space toilet.
Upon returning to the station, the Russian cosmonauts detect a safety system signal of
depressurization and immediately compensate for the loss of air pressure from tanks of
Progress MS-09 space truck fortunately connected to ISS at that time.
August 26, 2018.
Harsh debriefing on the American segment is taking place.
Serena Anunon, weeping, confesses that she made a hole in the station wall, and that
she simply did not see any other option to call the evacuation ship, and besides, she
“wanted to call the ship at the expense of the Russians and in the process discredited
backward Russian technologies."
The crew commander calls upon her to calm down and praises her for the shown ingenuity.
Meanwhile, Russian cosmonauts, centimeter by centimeter, inspect the ISS body with a
special electronic video endoscope “jProbe NT” and eventually find an ideally round
hole in the toilet with a diameter of 2 mm through which air whistles from the station.
Cosmonauts look at each other for a long time with a puzzled look.
August 27, 2018 Russian cosmonauts begin to seal the hole with a special sealing tape.
But at this moment Andrew Fustel appears in the Russian segment of the ISS, reminds that
he is the crew commander and demands to stop the repair and restoration work.
Fustel tries to tear off the still unconsolidated tape from the hole, but immediately receives
a decisive rebuff, light bodily injuries and the rules of behavior in the Russian segment
re-formulated in idiomatic expressions, after which he instantly retreats to the American
segment of the station with a noticeably heavier diaper.
The pressure at the station gradually stabilizes at working value of 760 millimeters.
After this, the compressors of the pressurization of the air are automatically shut off, the
red light goes out and the alarm sound finally stops.
As you know, sailors have such a belief: "If there is a woman is on a ship, expect trouble."
It looks like it applies for the space ships as well.
