As noted in earlier reports, it appears they are considering a series of spacewalks to try to fix the problem.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

this tid bit of mechanical failure is Typical of the overall Design of the ISS. After all,it was Originally scheduled to De Orbit by now
I remember one NASA exec during a pres conference when asked about the extension of ISS, litterally got so angry he bared his teeth reflexively, and in a tight voice complained bitterly about how congress had promised they could drop the ISS by (well about now).
Congress may have softened on retaining the ISS. Note the bill just out of committee where congress mandates that SLS, Orion, and Webb – not ISS. So eiather budgets will up (likely) or ISS, COTS/CRS, CCDev will suffer. (They are already cutting planetary.)
