• Space station crew hears noise

  
  

  HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- The crew aboard the international space station reported hearing a brief metallic crunching noise...

  
  

  Astronaut Mike Foale told NASA's Mission Control the noise sounded as if something had struck the aft end of the Russian module that houses the crew.

  
  

  "It sounded like a metal tin can kind of being expanded and compressed," Foale said. "It was a noise that lasted about a second. It sounded like an impact or something."
