That was what i was telling a friend of mine some moments ago. Once it has started its ascent there is really nothing that can be done. You cannot make it just turn around and immediately land ....meaning all one can do is pray and hope all turns out well.

Sad.

yeah... and of course they're going to publicly say that the loss of the insulation isn't going to be a problem.. because there's nothing to be done about it except carry out the mission. Can you imagine them saying as we watch it going up "whoops we see a piece of the insulation has fallen off... that means they will be burnt to a crisp on reentry, folks."
