Default Under Pressure

How does a Vacuum work?
It sucks!

Now, if there is a Vacuum on the outside and pressure on the inside - What happens? You have more Vacuum. That is exactly what is happening to the International Space Station. The whole dam place is under too much stress because those bozos at NASA think they know how to run something that is not even theirs.

How is it that NASA has control of the International Space Station when it is so obvious that they are incompetent managers - not to mention the fact that they stole Hubble and still won't give it back!

NASA insists that the pressure of the Space Station should be at 100 lbs of Atmosphere. - Normal Atmosphere on Earth is 13.6 Lbs of Atmosphere at Sea Level. - 13.6 Lbs of Atmosphere at Sea Level is a Barometric pressure of 71 Lbs of Atmosphere in Space. This is standard Space Stuff for those who should know.

The point is that if they don't slow down in increasing the pressure one of two things will happen - The whole dam thing will leak like a siv because it is stretched so badly - or the people will die for over pressure. Maybe this will show up in symptoms in a couple of years or maybe right in the International Space Station its self. Either way - NASA obviously has no idea what it is doing and should be removed from managing the International Space Station.

...wait a minute. lets take all the NASA people who work on trying to manage the International Space Station and put them in a big tank and crank up the pressure for 24 hours a day for 6 - 8 months at a time at 100 lbs of pressure. Ok?

This is obviously a troll for your web site.

The Russians have been operating space stations at this atmospheric
pressure for 30 + years, so please get a clue.

Sea level pressure is 14.7 psi. Station pressure is 14.7 psi.

Car tires are inflated at 30 psi. Bicycle tires at over 100psi.

Diswashers require at least 30 psi for the magnetic valve to operate. Cities
often provide greater pressure.

Commercial aircraft routinely handle 8psi pressure difference between cabin
and altitude atmosphere and handle pressure increase and deacrease multiple
times a day for years of service.


Station has very precise pressure monitoring. If they lose some pressure, they
will release gas (o2 and N2) from tanks to bring it back to the right
pressure. On aircraft, they use the jet engines to pump air back into the cabin.

Umm, if it's not theirs, whose is it?

Stole it from whom?


NASA insists that the pressure of the Space Station should be at 100 lbs

of Atmosphere. - Normal Atmosphere on Earth is 13.6 Lbs of
atmosphere at Sea Level. - 13.6 Lbs of Atmosphere at Sea Level is a

Barometric pressure of 71 Lbs of Atmosphere in Space. This is standard
Space Stuff for those who should know.


Umm, no, 1ATM is 14.7 lbs/in^2, not 13.6. And the do NOT run ISS at 100
lb/in^2 but at you guessed it, 14.7.

Evidently WE do know it.


The point is that if they don't slow down in increasing the pressure one

of two things will happen - The whole dam thing will leak like a siv because
it
is stretched so badly - or the people will die for over pressure. Maybe

this will show up in symptoms in a couple of years or maybe right in the
International Space Station its self. Either way - NASA obviously has no

You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.

up the pressure for 24 hours a day for 6 - 8 months at a time at 100 lbs
