Just helium leaks. Worse that can happen is that they spend the ride back talking like Micky & Minnie mouse.

“Collect more information on the spacecraft…”
I think that means, “Find all these damned leaks.”

The carbon fiber skin and game controller joystick would be a major red flag for me.

Is it possible to undock an empty spacecraft?
I don’t think there are two docking ports.

The ISS has four docking ports for the Russian segment and four berthing ports for the US segment. Berthing ports require a robotic arm to attach the spacecraft, while docking ports allow the spacecraft to dock autonomously.

They can fix the Starleaker with a can or two.

Funny... but, the helium is used to pressurize the fuel for the steering jets for maneuvering while in space. Could be serious and, their helium leaks have been numerous even before they launched!
Helium is VERY difficult to contain on Earth or in space...

Yep, it’s the equivalent of taking your car on a long drive through the desert knowing that you have a coolant leak.
