We could just as easily have said there was nothing we could do for Apollo 13 either. We didn't take that stance then. We shouldn't buy off on it today without asking questions and getting answers.

Actually, if Apollo 13's heat shield had been damaged by the explosion, there would have been nothing anyone could do. Of course, they didn't know one way or the other, but even if they had, repair would have been impossible, and they would have tried to land anyway.
