Astronauts told to evacuate space station, then return
Astronauts on the International Space Station were told to prepare for evacuation today because of a worsening air leak. Five crew members sheltered in their Dragon spacecraft for about two hours while Russian engineers tried to fix the problem. NASA later instructed them to return to the station after repair efforts on the Zvezda module were paused.
