I had to google, maybe some else wants to know: Galileo units is a (non-SI) measure of acceleration.
1 gal = 1 cm/s^2
100 gal = 1 m/s^2
So the 500-something gal from the article is roughly around half the acceleration of gravity we normally feel.
Where’s the problem? If the door opens blows out en route the astronauts will probably still reentry.
