Astronaut Spies 'Bullet Hole' in Space Station Solar Wing

[tsm]

Gang activity spreads to outer space:

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have dodged a cosmic bullet ... literally. "Bullet hole — a small stone from the universe went through our solar array," astronaut Chris Hadfield wrote, suspecting the hole was caused by a tiny space rock called a micrometeoroid. "Glad it missed the hull."

If it was man-made debris, someone at NORAD needs to lose their job.

When you consider that the entire station is moving around at ~17,247 MPH along with any other random stuff orbiting earth it's a wonder things like that don't happen more often.
