UPDATED! NASA Orders Dangerous Spacewalks To Fix ISS! VIDEO! Should The Situation Become Critical, Russia Will Have To Rescue The Astronauts!
[link to www.foxnews.com]

NASA is ordering a series of spacewalks to fix the space station as soon as possible.

A cargo ship was scheduled to launch from VA, but that has been postponed until mid January.

I get the feeling this is very serious.

FROM ARTICLE:

Station managers decided Tuesday to send two American astronauts out as soon as possible to replace a pump with a bad valve. It's a major job that will require three spacewalks — Saturday, Monday and next Wednesday on Christmas Day.

"The next week will be busy with space walks so not much tweeting from here," NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio tweeted from space soon after the decision was announced.

The spacewalks are taking priority over the launch of a supply ship from Virginia. The commercial delivery had been scheduled for this week, but is now delayed until at least mid-January.

Half of the station's cooling system shut down last Wednesday, forcing the six-man crew to turn off all nonessential equipment, including some science experiments. Because of the valve failure, one of the two cooling lines became too cold.

Should the situation become critical, NASA would have to rely on Russia to rescue the space station.

FROM ARTICLE:

But should an emergency occur they will need to rely on Russia's Soyuz spacecraft to return home.

"If there were an emergency on the space station, the crew could use the Soyuz to leave the space station and return to Earth," NASA's website reads. "Russia helps the United States run the International Space Station ... but only Russian spacecraft carry people to it right now."

That thing is an outdated piece of junk and should be allowed to deorbit. The descent phase should be done unoccupied, but that may not be possible.

If the Russians have to pick up the astronauts and bring them down, who brings down the ISS? Does it just continue in orbit unmanned or does it fall?

I think it is perfect timing, too.

I just could not believe we would have to rely on Russia to come to the rescue.

How can we depend on NASA to tell us anything, if they do not even have the resources to rescue their own astronauts?

Would NASA keep astronauts up there knowing that asteroids/meteors/comets etc. are inbound?

Also, if NASA had to bring the astronauts home under the guise of a fault on ISS, that means that they aren't going to tell the world that something is coming from space.

So, how does NASA and the PTB save face and hide all the inbound asteroids/meteors/comets? Or more appropriately, what resembles an asteroids/meteors/comets with trails? Did you say missiles and rockets?

Now you know why propaganda of a war with China, NK etc are on the rise!

FROM ARTICLE:

U.S.-led spacewalks have been on hold since July, when an Italian astronaut almost drowned because of water that leaked into his helmet.
NASA hopes to wrap up the pump swap in two spacewalks and not have to do a third on Christmas Day. Astronauts have ventured outside of their spaceship on Dec. 25 only once, way back in 1973 during Skylab, America's first space station. Shuttle astronauts finished a series of spacewalks on the Hubble Space Telescope on Christmas Eve 1999.
Half of the space station's cooling system shut down last Wednesday, forcing the six-man crew to turn off all nonessential equipment, including some science experiments. Because of the valve failure, one of the two cooling lines became too cold.
The cooling system, which runs ammonia through the lines, is critical for dispelling heat generated by on-board equipment.
While the astronauts are safe and comfortable, NASA wants the system back up to full strength, in case of another failure that could leave the orbiting outpost even more vulnerable than it is right now.
