Experts urge immediate evacuation of International Space Station due to worsening leak

NASA is facing increasing pressure regarding a leak in the Russian section of the International Space Station (ISS). The agency has identified 50 areas of concern related to the leak, which has escalated to a "top safety risk." Experts are urging immediate evacuation of the ISS, warning that delays could lead to a disaster. Currently, astronauts are instructed to stay near the escape hatch when the leaky section is open, but NASA insists they will remain aboard the station for now. The leak, first detected in 2019, has worsened significantly, with air loss rates reaching record levels. NASA is working with the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, to manage the situation and assess the risks involved.
