| 0:35.0 | This is CBS, I Am the World. I'm John Batsher from the surface of the planet Earth. We |
| 0:39.0 | got a lower Earth orbit. There is a leak in the lifeboat Soyuz craft on ISS. Bob, a very |
| 0:46.9 | good evening to you. What leak? What does it mean? Good evening. Good evening. All I've |
| 0:51.5 | got behind the black, a bunch of different information. Early this week, they were about |
| 0:56.8 | to do a space walk on ISS and the Russians were. They suddenly ground control and also people |

| 1:32.8 | There is no change in oxygen in the station though, the crew is safe. It appears it has |
| 1:38.2 | to do with the radiant, the thermal cooling system that keeps the service module of this |
| 1:45.0 | lifeboat at the right temperature. They're going to inspect this using the robot. They |
| 1:51.8 | think the Russians think and this I think is a reliable speculation. It's not proven yet. |
| 1:57.4 | But the Russians think this might have been caused by a micro-media right hit. That just |
| 2:02.7 | happened to hit the external radiators on the Soyuz capsule on the service module. This |
| 2:11.4 | is basically to keep the temperature of the service module going. There is a question here though. |
