From that I read:

[At a media roundtable on Aug. 16, Lt. Gen. Michael Hamel, commander of
Air Force Space and Missile Command, said: "The Air Force is applying
the same rigor for this transition as we do with our launch systems. If
at any point there's a problem, we have the ability to transition
back."]

Ok, but how does one "transition back" with a launch system? Seems
Challenger in 1986 could have used that feature.
