A bit like imagining how many of the royal family have to die before Princess Eugenie becomes Queen or a Borgen-type affair where a junior minister becomes prime minister, can you imagine the crazy sequence of events that has astronauts rescued by a Shenzhou capsule?

And would it produce some detente or raise tensions?

Note that "a bit" refers to the second half of the sentence, not your comment exactly.
