It's pretty damn obvious from the picture of the actual hole that it was made by a drill. The tool marks next to the hole seem to indicate that someone was on the potato juice when they did it. NASA really needs to do everything it can to speed up the first couple of flights of each commercial crew vehicle. Relying on Russia to fly our astronauts to ISS and back is not nearly as safe as you'd think. Looking at the safety record of Russian launches over recent decades should give anyone pause. I think Soyuz can accurately be described as "robust" but not necessarily safe. People talk about the "how safe Soyuz" without actually looking at the accidents. For example before Columbia folks were talking about how much safer it was, despite at that point actually having fewer flights since it's last fatal accident. And then you look at TMA-10 and other incidents and you realize that its robustness saved it from problems it shouldn't have had in the first place. Trying to meet some arbitrarily high safety goal when the alternative is Soyuz is daft. Fly the damn test missions, see what goes wrong, fix the issues, then fly the thing operationally. And finally, don't treat the safety side of things like it's "done" after that. Continuously monitor safety issues and make improvements along the way. Continuous improvement is a philosophy that helps safety in the long run. Ayup. Fly and iterate, fly and iterate. And be honest about your issues. Jeff -- Greg D.
