Let's all remember it's easy to Monday morning quarterback. Could they have done something? Perhaps not, with their non-existent tile repair kit. "They knew," and "why didn't they fix it?" are not productive comments right now. BUZZZZT....wrong answer...when human life is at stake its your honor and duty to do ANYTHING to save it. Saving human life goes beyond "regulations and procedures". This is negligence plain and simple.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it negligence. Even educated, informed people can disagree about whether something is a serious problem or not.
But I, like many others, are frustrated by the "We couldn't fix it so why bother" attitude. These are guys that could do pre-natal heart surgery on a goat in orbit around Saturn, fer cryin out loud. They routinely do significant, complex repairs on HST.

Apollo 13, nothing short of a miracle.
