Reply to comment by clburton24 in Russian space capsule leak likely caused by micrometeorite by getBusyChild

Funny how we also haven't damaged our own modules repeatedly. We know what can happen if too much debris collects, pointing at US early efforts is a bit ridiculous. Last time we did it was... 1985. From an f-15 in low orbit, meaning no debris in the upper atmosphere. Russia was 2021 and its already fucking up their space missions.

A F-15 in space? Tom Cruise, is that you?

Anyway this goes into the 1985 test.

Last time we did this was...2008. And how would an F-15 be in low orbit? The satellite was in low Earth orbit.

We also do not know if this is a result of the satellite test my dude. I think what Russia did was stupid, but damn, American craft have been hit by debris. See STS-7
