Re: When was the hole made?
Given the animosity
You are mistaking what goes on on Earth with what goes on up there.
I would not say it is all "friendship and kisses" up there, but when you are locked up in a space which is smaller than your average office 24x7 for weeks you have no choice but to put some of your managers' idiocies aside. If you do not, things end up very very ugly very soon.
So far they have not, which clearly indicates that the astronauts themselves are better professionals (and better humans for that matter) than the entirety of the management and political ladders on both sides. All the way to the top.
