DREDD WORLD! That's my name for some mungously huge Exo planet 11 times the mass of Jupiter.

How about planets being called things like Belardinelli and Hicklenton, maybe? But what would you name the star?
.
Star = Tharg
Planets = Dredd, Alpha, Hammerstein, Zenith etc?
.
Star = Sci-Fi
Planets = Clark, Asimov, Verne, Wagner etc?

Astronauts evacuated from International Space Station section due to 'harmful leak'

Astronauts on the International Space Station were evacuated from its US section on Tuesday because of a leak of "harmful substances" from the cooling system, Russia's space agency said.
The "toxic substance was emitted from a cooling system into the station's atmosphere" in the US segment of the station, the agency said in a statement.
The crew was evacuated from the American sector and is now "safely located in the Russian segment," it added.
The American section has now been sealed off.

Or, as Fox news might report it, "Brave American Astronauts Held by Putin's Cronies!"
.
Seriously, though, that sounds serious. Then again, if all you've got around you is a hard vacuum and radiation, I guess everything's serious. Fingers crossed for those folks, I'm sure they can fix it.

I've seen Interstellar. This won't end well.

Bad jokes aside, thoughts go out to the brave explorers on the edge of the world.

It's like zooming in on Google Earth. But on Titan.

The situation on the ISS seems do have been a false alarm caused by something called a Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (MDM) issuing data that another system interpreted as an ammonia leak. Whatever that means.
.
Anyway, the situation seems to have returned to normal, thankfully.

Isn't this what the Borg tried to turn the Enterprise's deflector dish into in First Contact?  I'd start scanning for nano-probes toot sweet.

The Borg would take a look at this sh*thole and run. They only assimilate to achieve greater perfection. Z

Uh-oh... Tordels is right. What were the exact environmental conditions in the American module before it was abandoned?
.
And why are there tubules growing out of my Blackberresistance is futile...
