[What if don't hear at 2:16? What do you do?]

If we don't hear, means vehicle went into safemode. If don't hear give it 14 minutes (until 2:30) to solve problem itself. [We seem to avoiding discussion of any catastrophic, "controlled flight into terrain" sorts of failures here.]

[MRO has typical safemode responses or not?]

Vehicle does not suppress majority of its fault detection because there's plenty of redundancy. [Most spacecraft disable a lot of fault handling in critical situations because stopping an orbit insertion burn halfway through is a really poor idea.]

END OF PRESS CONFERENCE (Only ran about 17 minutes.)
