“Should have gone with the 100 octane.”

Haha, because lead boosts octane ratings, it is very surprising that the Chinese would have this problem.

Proof that you can get Kung Pao delivered anywhere. Hopefully, he remembered to tip the delivery person.

As someone already mentioned, thermal expansion and contraction of the spacecraft could be responsible.

Micrometeors could also make a little bit of racket, I imagine.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - excessive heating in and out of sun every 50 minutes or so.
