My position is to let the investigation proceed, and not jump to conclusions. There are some here who are pushing the idea that NASA deliberately let astronauts fly on a craft that was known to be faulty, in essence letting them go to their doom.

I will refute that type of post, as it is counterproductive.

I'm all confused here; if we disagree with that, are we bickering? Are we just suppose to let them SAY that without it being refuted?

Well, I'm pushing the idea that the damage should have been visualized - And they didn't, and for reasons that astound me.

They *should* have known the craft was damaged, and they should have had means to find that out and done it quickly.

I know there was no plan b in that event. But there should have been. And they would have had the length of the mission to find some way to DO SOMETHING to save the crew. There might have been a way. They might have tried in any case.
