"Now that some time has passed and emotions are not as raw and egos not as intrusive, the Columbia Accident Investigation Board is looking into what NASA could have done in an attempt to save the five men and two women if the extent of the wing damage had been known early on. And that has raised an unsettling question: If NASA had known during the 16-day mission that the shuttle was mortally wounded, would it--should it--have informed the crew and arranged a last call home?" (TIMES-PICAYUNE) The author presents opinions of astronauts and family members on whether they should be informed about an impending disaster.
