I can not imagine being one of the engineers that has to make big decisions like this. Glad they are being cautious, and I hope those astronauts are enjoying their unexpected space sabatical as much as that is possible.
This is the real deal. I’m so, so glad they’re trying to be 100% safe rather than save face or money.
