Killing a mouse was hardly a Nobel Prize-worthy exercise, and Lawrence
went apopleptic when he learned a lousy rodent had peed away all his precious heavy water.

AFAIK the Crew Dragon docked at the ISS isn't suitable for a rescue mission since it's not modified to perform an EVA. Only the Crew Dragon capsule being
used for the Polaris Dawn mission is fitted (or being fitted) for EVA.

Why are you talking about rescue missions? Starliner's heat shield is intact.

Because they said there's about a 0.75% chance that the helium leak could result in a failure to initiate the retro-burn.
instead, and see how that works out.-- Katy Jennison

Was that 0.75% before or after the new backup backup procedure was implemented (using 4 RCS thrusters twice)?

Here's your answer:
"As it turned out, there was something to be concerned about. The review turned up what he called a ?design vulnerability? with Starliner?s propulsion
system that had not been recognized. Starliner?s service module has four areas called ?doghouses? spaced 90 degrees apart that host both larger Orbital Maneuvering and Attitude Control (OMAC) thrusters and smaller reaction control system (RCS) thrusters. If two adjacent doghouses failed for
some reason, though, it would prevent the spacecraft from doing a deorbit burn even though the spacecraft is designed with multiple ways to carry out the deorbit burn using combinations of OMAC and RCS thrusters."

Seems to be a clean count on the third try as of L-4:02.
