Former NASA Astronaut Charles Camarda on the Artemis II Heatshield Decision

The thing I hate about this is the lack of accountability on both sides.

We are going to find out, empirically, if just-ship-it-culture at NASA is a rampant problem in ~6 hours; If everything is fine at splashdown, we deserve a follow-up on why their expert analysis were wrong. And a simple explanation is not satisfactory. Their entire 13 page document as we have here needs to be sent up the flagpole of shame, with inline comments on how they were making wrong assumptions.

If disaster, then NASA is to do the same, but with 10,000x detail.

There is no middle ground that makes sense.
