ISS Leak

[Radegast74]

Don't know if people saw this photo. Recently it was in the news that the ISS had sprung a leak, and they found the source. This photo is priceless...it shows where somebody horribly botched drilling a hole, and then, just used glue to hide it. Like, they wouldn't have a problem when it went into space...holy cow!

Anyway, pic below, full article link below that

Ahh good ole Russian craftsmanship. Workers so afraid of the gulag that they will create an EXTREMELY dangerous and potentially disastrous situation to cover their own ass. I hope they find Sergei and cut his fuckin toes off...

I am still the only person in my workplace to have raised a quality report on himself, so I don't think it's purely a Russian problem.

They looked at me like I was retarded when I did it, but I didn't get in trouble and I didn't fuck that shit up again - in fact I've done better and better.

If a company is doing it right, they factor in time and resources for fuck ups so the finished work is sound as a dollarpound. (red-dwarf reference)

Very true, that ass-covering is an international sport, but Russian manufacturing has the added cultural factor of not doing a sufficient amount of QA testing. (Source: Am Manufacturing engineer and listened to my professor whine about the Ruskies for 4 years) Believe you me, that drill dude is double-fucked if/when they find him. They are good at blaming the man instead of the process.

That is some crazy stuff right there. I found it interesting that the article said this has happen on the Soyuz before.

QA has some explaining to do....

In the article, they quoted the one Russian official as saying that the offending worker would be found and "terminated."

In the comments, people were wondering what exactly he meant by the word "terminated" :D
