I can't decide which I would do.. it's just too much of a fucked up situation.

hm.

*more buckets*
I think if they knew they would have tried SOMETHING. At least delay the re-entry for as long as possible to give them time to think something up. I doubt NASA would have let this happen if they actually thought there was a chance of losing the shuttle.
