When this thing flies back to earth autonomously i hope it either goes perfectly or totally disintegrates, because right now it’s in the weird gray area of “is it an unsafe vehicle or are the issues just normal kinks to work out”

I debate stuff like this with the work crew a lot. The consensus is ‘accidentally’ burning up is the safest thing for everyone. I’ll be absolutely amazed if they even attempt a landing, as that means they’ve gone against all good advice, political and actual.
From a speaker! That changes the concern considerably. Clickbait.
Yeeessss… I mean, no other speakers on the station are emitting “strange noises,” and, frankly, I’d be concerned about any more faults in a craft that’s got an already pretty long list.
So, sure: having a radio malfunction, by itself, is pretty low on the shit-your-pants broken equipment list, but at some point the sheer volume of malfunctions is concerning.
I’m glad the team is able to hitch a ride back on a more reliable craft, and I’ll bet they are, too.

It’s begging to be put out of its misery.
They probably made a mistake in recalibrating the discombobulator.
It just needs a simple recombobulation
Just reverse the polarity of the Utwig field. Made sure the Hemnes particles are less than 0.4i/K and it’s good to go.

Mr. Korolev, one ping only.
I’ve found out who Korolev was… so thanks for that :) But what’s the “one ping” in reference to? If you have the time to explain
The movie Hunt for Red October (starring Sean Comedy as a Russian subway commander with a Scottish accent).
Exactly this. Really fun movie.

From a shmall shection of Moshcow called Little Shcotland.
But what’s the “one ping” in reference to?
He had the wrong name. It would be ‘Mr Borodin’,
Captain Ramius: Give me a ping, Vasili. One ping only, please. Capt. Vasili Borodin: Aye, Captain.Solid reference nonetheless, focusing on the ‘one ping only’, as many of us have seen this SO many times.
