Exactly :). The funny part is, the thing actually crashed! [1] Why? Bad error handling in the software (primarily). What is the worst that could happen? An instrument saturate, a variable gets stuck at a value, but keeps being integrated, the spacecraft computes a negative altitude and thinks it'a below ground level (negative altitude) but is in fact in full descent and at 3+ km from the surface.
