So you feel that the choice of words such as "violent" was appropriate
in that article ?


Every been in a vehicle that has oscillated sharply at 2Hz? You'd
think it was violent too.

Especially if said oscillation exceeded design standards.

really this event doesnt matter, all was fine no bad day.

but do auto systems watch for a out of nominal boost and shut things
down automatically?

does the crew have a STOP switch.

this could be treated like o ring erosion, or foam loss. no biggie.

but come back to bite bad.

if the station was somehow lost, to come down later raining debris
around the globe.

would man in space survive?
