So you are saying that NASA did the right thing to "leave their fate up to God" in trying to land them?

[txradioguy]

They had nothing else to do. The ONLY place tiles can be replaces is on earth. The curing process can't be done in space and each tile is custom made to fit that specific place on the aircraft. They were merely playing the odds by thinking "well we've lost tiles before and got them home safely" No matter how good a gambler you are, the house does still win sometimes as they did this time.

I guess that you would have had NASA leave their fate up to God by NOT trying to land them. Oh! But wait, that would be certain death, not "fate up to God"!

So, then, what would you have done, Mr. yonuf?

Remember in answering, that you must choose from among the choices actually avaiable. i.e., No "beam them down" type answers allowed.
