    I mean the title isn’t click bait but I was like lucifer b satan on a candy braclet! Im imagining some astronaughts in capsule that is not able to re-enter or manuever enough to get back to the station. It says they are assessing so its not ruled out they can still use the capsule to return they just have to make sure its not compromised.
