No gremlins are not bound by the laws of the physical world. they are there
to make sure people do not get too full of themselves and to leave that odd
doubt that superstition has some merit.
Like the number 13 for example.
Still being serious for a moment, I do think its a shame that cargo flights
do not have some kind of fail safe system or even an escape system as by now
there must be a lot of bits of space hardware strewn around the planet in
and out of orbit.
