I'm one of the Apollo grunts (retired 10 years ago). Sorry that the facts don't agree with you. Nor does the man who saved Apollo 13.
Massive failure of the tile was always a loser.
However 17 deaths in 40 years is a pretty good record. NASCAR didn't do as well.

I respect and agree with your opinion of the enormity of tile failure. But don't those involved in the mission and the people in support have the absolute right to know the condition of their ship? These are the most highly trained professionals in the world. I am sure that given the choice, they would rather know the true condition of the craft. Or perhaps they were completely aware of their potential problem and we the public just don't know that?
