‘Urgent situation’ on International Space Station as cooling system fails with six astronauts aboard NASA ground control is scrambling to fix an ‘urgent situation’ on the International Space Station after a cooling system failed with six astronauts aboard. NASA reported the problem about 5.45pm EST after the integral system stopped working. Initial reports indicate the crew of the $150billion space lab are safe. However, an emergency space walk may be necessary to repair the coolant leak, NBC News reports. Two Americans are among the six crew members. They are Rick Mastraccio, a 53-year-old mission specialist with a background in engineering, and Mike Hopkins, a 44-year-old U.S. Air Force Colonel. Also aboard are Russians Mikhail Tyurin, Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy and Japanese engineer Koichi Wakata. NASA reports that a cooling flow valve malfunctioned, causing one of the space station’s two cooling systems to shut down. As a result, the crew had to reroute the remaining cooling functions through the one remaining system – meaning that they had to shut down non-critical systems. Currently, life support, electrical systems and refrigeration for science experiments is being kept online. read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2522266/Urgent-situation-aboard-International-Space-Station-cooling-fails-astronauts-aboard.html?printingPage=true

I reject most dreams and visions, but there has been one that seems to have happened to a variety of people. It has meteors or other space debris hitting the moon, and then the space station during a spacewalk. The escape pod, which looks like a mini shuttle, has damage to its tail. And just as the whole mess is raining down on earth, the Rapture happens. Right now we have what seems to be a "perfect storm" if that dream/vision was true.
ISON is far from dead, so heads up either way.

We need to pray for their safety and - even more importantly - their salvation.
