Trump’s fault [Russia, Russia, Russia...].
Good Gosh. .56 degrees per second seems like a HUGE amount for that structure.
This is not the NASA that I grew up with in the 60's that NASA that made every boy want to grow up and be an astronaut or aerospace engineer.
The new NASA is full of mealy mouthed weasels just like the rest of the government.
Pretty hard to prove in a zero G environment.
Boats and barges are often steered by a tugboat, aircraft are steered on the ground by a tug, so why not a space tug?

This illustrates how a bad actor could “mine” the ISS and destroy the whole complex with one relatively compact device.
The mine would consist of a single thruster, fuel tank(s) and some method of attaching to the ISS. After stealthily sneaking up and attaching itself to the ISS at a predetermined spot, the thruster would fire and the ISS would shortly spin itself into pieces.
Mostly like the device itself would burn up in the atmosphere with the rest of the debris and all evidence would be destroyed and/or dropped into the deep blue sea. All we would know is the ISS spun out of control and disintegrated. Bad scene.
If we actually have a Space Force which does things in space, countering mines is presumably an objective. I hope.
The russians wanted to destroy the iss, maing it appear to be accidental...?
They are leaving it in a few years anyway. Trash it so they can be the only,ones with a space station.
“After doing that back flip one-and-a-half times around, it stopped and then went back the other way,”
The aliens watching this must have been confused about what the earthman were doing.
NASA thought the russians were drinking again...
180 degree forward flip while spinning?
Now that’s Olympic gold right there - what a ride!
DH offers - 20percent of reserve fuel used up? (normal altitude ajustments etc) and no new shipment for a few weeks

Nobody cares that the flight director’s name is Zebulon? Now I’m up to 95% sure we’re in an alien simulation...
