Hey, there's a novel idea. If you can't bring them back in case of emergency then any takeoff that is less than perfect should be aborted immediately.
Ah, it's incident #542,431,787 at FR of "not reading the article."
They didn't know the foam had fallen off till the day AFTER the launch.

I am aware they didn't know the foam had fallen off until they reviewed the film the next day. It makes my point that they can't in every instance have a perfect takeoff, which they need, because they don't have a back up system to retrieve the astronauts.
