According to CNN, former NASA astronaut Bob Cabana mentioned that the US space agency, "has expressed concerns about the structural integrity of the (leaking module) and the possibility of a catastrophic failure," However, the Russian team "does not believe catastrophic disintegration … is realistic," Cabana said.
"The Russians believe that continued operations are safe — but they can't prove that to our satisfaction," Cabana added to his statement on Wednesday. "And the US believes that it's not safe, but we can't prove that to the Russian satisfaction."
