Interesting she mentioned ammonia leaks and I've just been watching the spacewalk to repair one.

Q for Rocketman....I wonder why they have to use ammonia? Strong, weird stuff with some special properties....

I also found myself thinking "much better than the sets for 'Alien' type sci-fi horror movies". Someone'll do it soon enough.

It's used to cool down the power systems on the solar arrays. I think they now fixed the leak.
