"the module began trying to line itself up in preparation to fire its main engines using an attitude adjustment thruster." One thing that I am curious about is what would have happened if the module had achieved the alignment it was seeking, either as as result of its own efforts or during the procedure to stop and correct for its actions. If the main engine was capable of firing, would there still be an ISS?
