MODERATORS
Ground control noticed helium leaks and the spacecraft had a cluster of thrusters fail. That's not almost dying in a horrific way.
You've misunderstood, or just read the PR.
Unless they are specific to a helium deficiency in the boost system, GUESS WHAT? Not a part of reentry.
They need basic compression to put them back on a safe path to reentry, and they wouldn't use an ignition engine. You don't extend the stay by a year because "helium not gud" as part of an ignition.
They lost compression and nobody will say it out loud. It's the only reason to explain this and the docking issues they had.
