True story about Serena Auñón-Chancellor?

posted 4 months ago by SolarisPatchwork (215)

She allegedly was a terrible astronaut and sabotaged her EVAs and the ISS to get home early, including losing multiple tool bags. She complained about the toilets, shit everywhere, then allegedly drilled a hole in the Soyuz toilet, leading to a leak, an emergency situation, and almost an emergency scrub. The Russians also apparently banned the US astronauts from their toilets. NASA and the Russians investigated and found the hole had numerous witness marks and could only have been drilled in space, and that Serena Auñón-Chancellor likely did it deliberately.

You might want to check that source again. Even Snopes says it's plausible and their rating is "unproven."

It's plausible that it was you or trump himself. Or maybe Taylor Swift did it. It's unproven that she didn't. LOL. Why would you even bring this nonsense here? How could you type it all with serious face?

No, it's theoretically possible that it's me or "Trump himself." (Why is that your default condition?) But it's not plausible, nor is it probable.

What's plausible is someone/some persons who had direct physical contact with the affected spacecraft at the time of the incident, with the materials to cause the observed damage, and the means, motive, and opportunity (cameras allegedly stopped working) to do so, caused it.

It's also plausible, though much less so, that someone in the manufacturing process randomly banged a drill bit around without a center punch and caused seven attempted holes before drilling a random one, which served no purpose and wasn't supposed to be there, and then patched it in a temporary manner but without leaving any traces whatsoever of the patch.

It's also certain that both countries would push their particular interpretation of events to save face and establish a narrative. Short of something like an NTSB report (thank God we're permitted to see those for general transit incidents), we can't conclude for ourselves what surely happened. But we can easily examine what we know and draw conclusions from there.

USA doesnt need "to safe face" because russians fucked up something in their section. it's russian problem.

What's the "I" stand for in ISS?

Each country is responsible for their sections. Can't imagine if something will break down in American one and NASA will fun to tabloids to put a rumor that some crazy russian astronaut got into their section and broke down on purpose anything. Which exactly what russian clowns, apparently, did.

Can't believe anyone could actually be that stupid to take it seriously into consideration.

Just because a module is named "Russian module" doesn't mean that everything that happens in it is Russian.

>Can't imagine if something will break down in American one and NASA will fun to tabloids to put a rumor that some crazy russian astronaut got into their section and broke down on purpose anything

They would if there was compelling evidence that that was the case.

I can't believe anyone with brain activity in their head would actually push this nonsense rumor.

It's very obviously what happened. russians f*cked up as they always do. It was their section with that hole. Then tried to lie their asses out and point blame on someone else. Because they are pathological liars. They simply can't admit anything. They are like Lindsay Lohan on steroids.

So they made up this ridiculously insane theory. I can't believe anyone could fell for it. There are so many stupid people out there.

And yet there's no plausible explanation as to why a worker would need to drill a hole there. It would serve no purpose. Even if you entertain the possibility that an aerospace worker wouldn't first use a center punch to center the hole so that it doesn't walk out SEVEN times. And then that their chain of inspection would permit a temporary patch on a hole that would come loose in space (with no evidence of the patch existing--no bonding, no residue, no patch itself, etc.).

All the alternative explanations I've heard are more outlandish than someone on the space station doing it themselves.

Your biggest mistake is that you try to find common sense in anything that russians do. There isn't any. They don't operate like normal people.

[–] SolarisPatchwork (215) 3 months ago

Non-normal people with no capacity for common sense built the Soyuz?

[–] emori (3128) 3 months ago

russian space program is dying. There was a great space race between USSR and USA about who will go first to space, to moon. And they all worked like crazy to achieve it. And when they did - they lost interest.

russians use that Soyuz that USSR built ages ago. And send satellites on same old rockets. But Musk keeps taking away their customs. And so many other countries fly to space now.

But russians can't create anything new. All their missions to Mars, Moon - fail. This involvement in ISS is basically all they have left. Once it will be over - their space involvement will decline even more.

That's why they keep having malfunctions and something brakes. Their space program is in stagnation. Young scientists go abroad. Old ones can't create something new. Huge corruption on every level including space. This is why things break down. Not because some American woman wanted to go home. LOL.

So the Russians attempted to drill a hole 7 times, without a center punch, until they managed to get one through, in a completely irrelevant part of the ship, then patched it in a temporary manner without any residue or evidence, and when the problem manifested on orbit and the cameras to that section failed (at the same time the Serena Aunon-Chanellor had deep vein thrombosis and problems losing numerous items on spacewalks), it was because the Russians have "no capacity for common sense" and their space program is dying?

Are still going with that insane ridiculous theory?

It sure seems like people who built the world's most-used, most-reliable, and longest-running space delivery vehicle have more common sense than yourself, who fall apart at the slightest questioning.

[–] emori (3128) 3 months ago

Sure Jen. It's not because russians f*cked up something in their section and it broke down. No. It was because Elvis was singing lullaby to Justin Bieber which prompted cockroaches to force cat to tell aliens to drill a hole in space ship because American woman wanted ice cream and wanted to suck it through the whole.

Yes. That is definitely what happened. You know it because you were there and saw it with your own eyes. And NASA wants to hide it because they are embarrassed that Justin Bieber sang to cockroaches. And they want to hide that fact that cats speak to aliens.

"Fucked up something in their section" = "the Russians attempted to drill a hole 7 times, without a center punch, until they managed to get one through, in a completely irrelevant part of the ship, then patched it in a temporary manner without any residue or evidence, and when the problem manifested on orbit and the cameras to that section failed (at the same time the Serena Aunon-Chanellor had deep vein thrombosis and problems losing numerous items on spacewalks) it was because Russians are an inferior people"

Your theory is idiotic

I'm actually talking about you at this point, not the Russians.

>Your biggest mistake is that you try to find common sense in anything that emori says. There isn't any. He doesn't operate like normal people.

Ooh, now I understand. Projection. Well, thanks for giving me the opportunity to so clearly explain this theory and evidence for it to the readers of this forum. There was never any chance of convincing someone as close-minded and bigoted as you.
