The announcement sounds ambitious.
Roscosmos discovered new leaks in the Russian service module. Because what’s a space station without a few new holes? The Zvezda module’s external cooling system is leaking, but don’t worry, it’s not like it’s a critical system or anything. The crew is on it, isolating the affected area because that’s what you do when you’re in space and things start leaking. Just another day in orbit.
