You have to fix it, first you have to quit your job, then astronaut training, then you are shipped to Russia, put on a Soyuz flight to the ISS and fix what you have damaged.

Curiously, is it possible to brick something on ISS remotely? I'm sure there is a lot of communications between ISS and earth.

Isn't the ISS going to be decommissioned soon anyways?
