Its either that or kick the craft off without opening it up at all.

So since it HAS to be opened just do the dang mold remediation and get on with it. Its not like its a big deal.
Waiting three days to figure it out is stupid. It will not take three days to take care of the job anyways.

Mold remediation. Like I said. half of an astronauts job is house keeping and facilities maintenance. Nothing a good trained mechanic and a good trained janitor couldn’t do. The rest can be done by any trained lab tech from any lab in the world.
