    Wanted to clarify again since I wasn’t specific earlier. The capsule itself is airtight, no danger there. What’s leaking is helium, which is kept in compressed tanks in the service module and used to pressurize the reaction control system thrusters. The tanks aren’t leaking though, it sounds like the leak is somewhere between the tank and the thrusters, which is what needs to be researched.

      I’ll also clarify. I was being totally hyperbolic. I do understand it’s not actually air, but I’m not too worried about misrepresenting Boeing at the moment

        That’s fine, it’s telling the truth about Boeing that gets really dangerous.
