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.

Now reflect upon the following information from the Press Conference today and give us what you think should have been done after they reached the conclusion that nothing was damaged and no danger to crew or equipment existed. Any answer you can provide would be appreciated.

Tile analysis:
Time line, events, study, and we finally concurred it was not a problem.

17 Jan Meeting to review launch film.
First meetings occured on 20th.
Reported on 21st to the engineering teams, and trying to reflect on what the debris was...
debris assessment completed on 22
reported to mission management team on 24th and on 27th. Both conclusions were debris that impacted the vehicle, did not represent danger to the crew or equipment.
