The space industry source told TASS that before the hole was sealed, the cosmonauts conducted photo-and video surveillance of the hole with an endoscope.

My first thought was “through a 2mm hole?“, but a quick search found such cameras down to 1.2 mm. Wow!

Well, the smaller the scope, the more comfortable it is for the patient. ;-)

In reply to Mike Borden. Mike Borden: I noticed this too. In fact, I should have mentioned the contradiction in my post. Did they lie? Maybe. Or it could have been spin pushed by the news source. Or it could have been simply a mistake. None of this would surprise me.

“The hole was made on the ground. The person responsible for the act of negligence has been identified,” the source told the news agency

So did they find the person responsible? Or did they lie?
