    ASAT TEST: This was the initial call from NASA to the regarding the debris caused by Russia's anti-satellite test. Not a fun wakeup call. Safe-haven procedures were put into effect. This courtesy the ISS Stream.

    Debris generated by the dangerous Russian ASAT test caused ISS astronauts and cosmonauts to undertake emergency procedures for safety. It's unthinkable that Russia would endanger not only intl partner astronauts on the ISS but also their own cosmonauts.

    “For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.” - Sir Raymond Priestly, Antarctic Explorer and Geologist.

    Some might question naming a spaceship after a doomed ice locked vessel that sank in the Antarctic. But Ernest Shackleton is the Explorer’s explorer. The entire crew abandoned ship and set out upon an endless expanse of sea ice and travelled 720 miles with no deaths.
