At http://oea.larc.nasa.gov/PAIS/Rendezvous.html it says "If
rendezvous had to be part of Project Apollo, critics of LOR felt that
it should be done only in Earth orbit. if that rendezvous failed, the
threatened astronauts could be brought back home simply by allowing
the orbit of their spacecraft to deteriorate. "

If the LM was allowed to reenter, the astronauts are dead anyway. Is
the point really that there is a chance of a rescue mission if the
rendezvous fails in Earth orbit?
