A few years ago, I saw a movie, which shows the development of the
ISS since the first days. It consists of drawings only - not

You are right here, it was AO-10 that was damaged by the collision. I
didn't remember that AO-40 had an engine issue but that explains quite a
bit. It would be difficult to get some sort of rocket aboard the ISS now

That would explain an explosion. Those things don't just burn off.

How would it be assembled on ISS? You would have to build it on the
ground, document every step, take it apart and rebuild it to be sure the
assembly documentation is correct and then ship it up bit by bit. Meanwhile
