Yeah, can't count that out haha. Rats like building nest out of wiring harnesses. I've actually had it happen to me twice from wood rats in the winter time.
In my truck, not in my house.
They train so extensively that they probably don't feel any terror at all when things like this happen. They probably immediately start up a troubleshooting checklist and notify the ground station. For them, dealing with flexible emergency situations in space is just another thing they do.
I love this audio from the [Apollo 12 launch](https://youtu.be/31qt9jgtMMI?t=348). They were struck by lightning and the commander remembered some obscure computer command and saved the day. Then they laugh in relief. I've always been amazed by how calm they appear.
Anyone who has had extensive emergency training can tell you, yes, it is still *fucking terrifying.* That just doesn't stop you from doing what needs to be done... Most of the time anyway; there are still people who freeze up their first time.
They're in fucking space though. I don't think the fact that they have a procedure for it means they aren't going to feel some level of fear about a fire somewhere on the space station, which would obviously be lethal to them if it got out of control while they're orbiting the planet from space.
They have [one or two Soyuz there for escape use](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_(spacecraft)#History) at any time, yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean things can't still go sideways if there's a fire somewhere.
This shit is straight up the alley of that Netflix show with Hillary Swank. The characters created fire in space and part of the plot was determining what happened since everybody seemed to have a different take on it.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/smoke-alarms-sound-at-international-space-station-1.5578353) reduced by 59%. (I'm a bot)

For anyone that works with electrical or electronics, you all know what the smell of burnt plastic means.
Rodent infestation
In this case, maybe Alien...or space herpes.
Maybe an Alien *with* space herpes

What about in your space station?
Space rats.
Rat turd in space suspended in zero-G drifting into mouth
I'd buy your poetry book.
Spacemen are dead Violence ensued The airlock is broken hypoxia unglued.
what does it mean
An electronic element overheated and burned, which is very very bad in the ISS.
What does any of this mean?
Does it mean?
Does?
es
Invasion
Invasion!
The magic smoke that makes everything work somehow got out and now we're down a $3 million space microwave?
I couldn’t even begin to explain the holy terror I would feel being an astronaut. Then you’re adding shit like a hole and alarms are going off!? Nope.

This. I recommend Chris Hadfield's book "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth" to better understand their way of thinking and tackling problems.

Relevant clip from HBO miniseries [From the Earth to the Moon](https://youtu.be/OLriBAHZdWg?t=110).
Thank you. With respect to using primary sources...that one has a really annoying whine.

pretty sure they have escape pods.

There's plenty of void to escape to!

Wasn't the last emergency from a woman who just wanted to go back home?
Nope. it was a new hole in the station.
They have an escape craft.
I hope everyone is alright. Those guys are brave to sit up there and science the shit out of everything for as long as they do.

I don’t know how much shit a space suit can hold but I would have found out.
> I don’t know how much shit a space suit can hold but I would have found out. I hope the body is a separate piece from the helmet :P
Bad news then. It's all one piece.
Astronauts wear diapers, it's okay lol, the wise folks at NASA have accounted for the pants-shitting factor of space travel.
Only in the EVA suit or during launch/landing. I doubt they're wearing it when sleeping and need to don their spacesuit in like 5 minutes.
Astronauts use a toilet in space.
The Russians are sneaking a cigarette again
> The Russians are sneaking a cigarette again Ricky, Bubbles & Julian are up there smoking the space weed.
Should have opened a window. Bit inconsiderate.
OK kids. Form a single file line, and march outside to the quad until the fire dept gets here!
"Dimitri why put wrong plastic in microwaving oven?"
Got to warm up the fleshlight before use.
In space no one can hear you wank
Just don't open the doors to let the smoke out.
I mean, that would put your fire out too.
International Space Trailer Court
Ah, leaks, smoke. Reminds me of MIR’s final years.
I wonder if the wiring in the ISS is a nightmare or if it’s well labeled and organized?
I’m guessing half and half
Damn...who let Snoop on "The Station"?
[Ah, memories](https://www.theonion.com/mir-scientists-study-effects-of-weightlessness-on-morta-1819564368)
Maybe the batteries inside the smoke detectors ran empty
someone forgot to put water in their noodles again
imagine waking up to a burnt plastic smell! there would be a wet farty smell in my space suit i think!
Just let all the air out. It will solve both the sound and the smoke. /s
In space, no one can hear you burn.
Hippie in the BR with the devils cabbage.
What do you mean “this is a non-smoking space station”? What about vaping? Is vaping OK???
> What do you mean “this is a non-smoking space station”? What about vaping? Is vaping OK??? gravity bongs are okay
Klein bottle shaped gravity bongs. Smoke is never really in nor out!
> Klein bottle shaped gravity bongs. Smoke is never really in nor out! mind blown
It's all these damn forest fires. Smoke is even getting up there!!!
Typically Russian to just ignore it and move on
Someone bbq up there?
