And yet they are not returning before more checks are done

If I understand it correctly, they were confident a while ago already that they could return safely, but they're taking advantage of the situation to do some tests and experiments to learn more about the failure.

(If you disagree, go yell at Scott Manley, I heard it in one of his recent videos.)
