Computers on International Space Station have failed

Computers that control key life-support systems aboard the International Space Station have failed, and in a worst-case scenario could force all crew members to leave.

Hmmm something similar to what happened on Armageddon? (man i HATE that movie)
People walk on........ then all hell breaks loose ......and it blows up!
The REAL funny part is that its the Russian section of the ISS that giving the trouble!

what happens if they can't fix the problem within the next few days? if the crew have to evacuate, would that be the end of the ISS?

it would be amazing to watch the ISS fall to earth!
