Ha, this is an engineering disaster. The garbage can't be ejected without a human or humanoid sacrifice. The new plan is to give it a big kick on a space walk. Better not 'Bend it like Bekham' or it will curve right back and hit the station. Remember the old WWII submarine movies with a 'hot torpedo' curving around and dum, dum, dum, barely missing? or hitting. whatever, it's a movie.

So they'll end up with 2 guys in spacesuits holding onto the thing whilst no 3 pushes the un dock button and runs. Then the other 2 shove the thing way from the ISS before the thrusters fire and it's all a simple as that. IMHO with popcorn in hand.
Ha, sounds like Canadians in a snow storm. I always get the back.
I was thinking more that they couldn't even work the thrusters, so they pump it full of air, then release the lock and it zooms away like a kids water rocket.
Nice! Probably have to orient the ISS, so the pos is pointing at earth to make sure it never comes back.
