Mir Spacecraft: Worst collision in the history of space flight

[Gerald]

In June 1997, an unmanned supply vessel crashed into the Mir space station.
The collision meant that the station began to leak air.
The astronauts on board desperately tried to seal the leak.

Mir was an orbiting miracle if you look at all the mishaps from small to life threatening it saw itself through. Collisions, fires, and still it took a controlled deorbit to get rid of it. That was one tough space station.
