Please for the love of God, quit judging someone who has done far more with greater abuse and stress than many of us have ever experienced. Give her credit for accomplishing with no human being has done before and quit demanding almost superhuman physical, mental, and emotional strength all at once!
I am so desperately ashamed of the judgment spewed so self righteously on this board.

If she found that she was having issues maintaining orientation during complex elements it is inherently dangerous to continue - regardless of the errors it could introduce and harm the team.
I just don’t believe I’m in a position to judge. I agree many here are being very harsh when they’ve no idea what they’re talking about.
