There was a Butch Gilmore and there was Suni Williams and they made headlines when they came back to Earth from nine months on board the ISS. They had an extended stay and this is due to multiple technical issues with the Boeing Starliner capsule. And as for the Chinese space station, this recent impact was not the first. In 2023 there was a partial power outage when the station's solar panels were hit by space debris and it was around that point additional shielding was added to some of the station's exterior.
