That's just more denial. When the alarm goes off, do you say, "What's the worry, we were just fine before it went off, and what's changed? Only that the alarm went off. Let's just ignore it."

Where in what I said leads you to believe that I think nothing was being done? I am sure that there was more being done than is being speculated here. There is just too much at stake for me to believe otherwise. The people at NASA value human life and value the lives of our astronauts. Too much is at stake for NASA to feel otherwise.

All of a sudden everyone wants to know just what was going on... and maybe, just maybe... there was a lot more going on than you think. I seriously doubt that anyone at NASA just threw up their hands and said "oh well, let it crash-- nothing we can do now."
