Russia weighs possibility of deliberate act in space station damage

Crew members last week found the hole - roughly 2 millimetres in diameter - on the inner wall of Russia's Soyuz module on the orbital space station after ground operators reported slight dips in pressure levels. Its origin, however, remains a mystery to U.S. and Russian space officials. Dmitri Rogozin, director of Russia's space agency Roscosmos, said on Monday that a person could have deliberately penetrated the wall using a drill either during manufacturing or while the craft was in orbit.
