Shocking photos show how NASA's decaying ISS has been leaking and cracking for years amid evacuation fears

From holes in robotic arm to cracks in the window, astronauts have been complaining about the state of the International Space Station (ISS) for years. A NASA report this week admitted that there are 50 'areas of concern' and four cracks that could lead to an emergency evacuation from the ISS due to it leaking oxygen. NASA warned that the issues stemmed from one leak which reached its fastest growth rate yet in April of this year. If the crew makes the daring escape it would be the first time in the orbiting lab's 24-year history of housing astronauts. The first reported issues in 2013 when a piece of space debris caused a small hole in one of the orbiting outpost's solar panels.
