A cracked window on the International Space Station? That's not good

Thumb Up

I find it amazing they actually carry spares for the windows, I would have expected that would be a part that would not be on hand for a non-essential component of the station.

It may be probably the coolest component but surely not the most critical, its small so they can just seal it off if there is a problem!

Thumbs up to the engineers who designed it and to the engineers who built it!
