That is some high stakes remote maintenance. I don't want to imaging the stress for everybody involved. The relief when they finally got a signal two days later confirming the craft was still in obe piece and the heater was on must have been immense. I get stressed enough waiting minutes for a remote server to come back up.
Oh great, another stressful wait!
