Astronauts on the ISS brace for emergency evacuation after NASA finds 50 'areas of concern'

NASA has raised the threat level to the highest rating

NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station are preparing for a possible evacuation as they face a worsening air leak problem.

The US space agency and its Russian counterpart, Roscomos, are tracking 50 'areas of concern' related to a growing leak aboard the station.

In a recent report from NASA's Office of the Inspector General (OIG), the cracks in a Russian service module have reached a 'top safety risk,' marking it a five-out-of-five threat level.

This story is the only one I can find. Can someone please corroborate this?

    The novel "Act of Defiance" published under Tom Clancy's name is based on such a device.

    I like how you say published under Tom Clancy's name paperback publishers really piss me off when they go around using popular authors names and use Shadow writers produce a bunch of weak garbage it barely resembles the original author's abilities.
