The whole story is like an experiment, analyzing various factors, over and over again, and finally verifying whether "return is possible" can avoid ditching. The computer can accurately restore the field parameters, and the environment can be simulated, but how to measure some "human factors"? The ending of the story is well said, the missing factor was Sully Captain, and the point - a kind of human sublime.

But I'm still terrified. If I still choose not to believe in Sully's weakness as a "human", is it possible that sophisticated technology and reasoning can still pull him down from the altar? And, how do we measure this "weakness"? what if it was measured as 30 seconds and what if they did not find the lost left wing?

A female classmate had a plane tattooed on the inside of her arm. It was the model her father was flying. She said it was her father's pilot career. Proud, Captain Sally said we did our job hit the spot. I remembered Professor Ben talking about the education concept of the older generation of students, We were educated to be proud of our duty, which is unmeasurable.
