As a general rule among bureaucrats, you can never be faulted for
saying, NO....

Now, having made this insightful contribution, I wll say that the
perception among NASA is that losing another crew will be the end of
NASA as we/they know it... No manager in NASA is going to voluntarily
be the fall guy who says, "Ahhh what the hell, launch it!"......
Understandable...

A perception problem was created by NASA when they worked hard for
decades to foster the belief that NASA is so good that launching to
orbit is just routine... Sitting on top of a half million pounds of
explosives, then igniting a 'controlled explosion' in a container just
below the tanks of explosives, is never going to be routine... Nor is
slamming into the atmosphere at Mach 17.5 and having the leading edges
instantly hit 3,000 F...

But, I would much rather be an astronaut who depends upon NASA
engineers to launch his tender body, than have been a cosmonaut under
the USSR's space program... Look up the available footage of some of
their more spectacular failures...
