SMRTR summary
Space debris traveling at 17,000 mph poses the greatest threat to the International Space Station, with puncture risks creating a 1-in-36 to 1-in-170 chance of catastrophic depressurization every six months. While small holes give astronauts 14 hours to respond, larger breaches leave less than a minute before crews must evacuate, potentially forcing an uncontrolled reentry.
