With all the problems its has so far, let's hope that it doesn't end up frying the entire station once they go in and flip the light switch on! ?

It seems there was a serious problem (another) after docking.
Nauka left-for-dead main engines suddenly ignited and there was no way to shut them off, leading to a loss of the station attitude control. They had to fire Zvezda and Progress engines to counter the thrust and wait for the tanks to be empty.
Seems things are better now, but some guys in mission control certainly 'were about to turn blue'

Not the main engines (which are called the "DKS") but the attitude control thrusters ("DPS") located on the left and right sides of the spherical node compartment.

Also, there is attitude data from the ISS/Nauka dance...
...clearly not correctly displayed.

Is Nauka ultimately docked to the ISS? I seem to lose out of touch of all such news. There had been considerable delays to launch the module.
Does it mean that both "Prichal" and "Pirs" mean "pier" (I learnt from Wikipedia that "Pirs" means "pier")?

Yes, Nauka is ultimately docked to the station...and just recently, Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov entered it for the first time

Good thing it wasn't able to kick in the mains.
I believe they have now added to their post dock checklist 'Underwear change'.

according to psychological theory, human acceptance of the inevitable is divided into five stagesI believe they have now added to their post dock checklist 'Underwear change'.
1) Denial and isolation 2) Anger 3) Bargaining 4) Depression 5) Acceptance and here you are flying on a tin can to the moon
