   Yes, and a Falcon 9 second stage may fall on your house.  Multiple   
   failures have to happen for the retro burn to be missed.  If any one of   
   those failures show up on the way to ISS, ISS becomes a safe haven.   
   And on departure, expect serious checkout of systems before the capusle   
   leaves the vicinity of the station.
