That is clearly a meaning of "not stranded" I was previously unfamiliar with.

They're not. The ship has 1 bad thruster, but need like a dozen to fail to make re-entry impossible. They could leave right now and everything would be just fine.

The thing is the module that's malfunctioning doesn't survive re-entry, so the only time to investigate the problem is before they head back.
