Under Flight Rules, the crew should have turned back to Earth
Former Space Shuttle Program Manager Wayne Hale has posted a correction to NASA's history of STS-109, which he claims"is a lie" - although that may be a slight exaggeration., launched in 2002, was the last mission of Columbia before the STS-107 disaster. During the mission, the crew conducted a series of five spacewalks to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
According to Hale, it wasn't quite as simple as that. The Space Shuttle had two Freon Coolant Loops . These were critical pieces of equipment responsible for cooling the orbiter's electronics. Losing one would require landing the orbiter at the next available opportunity.
In the end, the NASA team decided to continue with the mission. The MMT was advised and an awful lot of engineering analysis took place.

Its Costa award-winning author, Kate Saunders, died last year, before it was published, but. He is also a firm upholder of logic and reason, and certainly doesn’t believe in magic
