MOSCOW — A Russian crewmember on the International Space Station has recorded a video message to assuage concerns about an air leak on the orbiting outpost. In the video posted Monday on his social network page, Sergei Prokopyev explained how the crew has located and sealed the tiny hole that created a slight loss of pressure. He didn’t say if he suspected any of the current crew of three Americans, two Russians and a German aboard the station. “As you can see, everything is fine on board and we live peacefully together as always,” he said. “Our joint international expedition is working in a friendly environment.”The state RIA Novosti news agency reported Monday that a government commission investigating the mysterious drill hole had failed to determine what caused it.
