International Space Stations cooling system fails, but the crew is safe for now
2013-12-12 18:24:02| Extremetech
One of the International Space Station's cooling systems has failed. Fortunately, there is a redundant cooling system, otherwise the six-person crew would be quickly bailing out and heading back to Earth aboard a Soyuz capsule before being cooked alive. NASA is now working out how to fix the primary cooling loop, to get the space station back to full working order. The situation is being described by NASA as "urgent" but not "life-threatening."
