Could they have gotten there and used those rescue pods they used to carry back in the 80's?That's a damn good question. Right now, NASA has absolutely no plans for a balls-out emergency rescue launch, should that become necessary.
When I worked in operations there, I tried to build some support for that kind of plan, but just got blank stares...

Where did you work for NASA? I spent my career...Hq, JSC, MSFC, and the Cape during Apollo.

Nice thought, but, sometimes you need a damn good back-up plan ...

Any thoughts about post #458? What did you do in ops?
