Necessary??? What does this man mean by that? Was it a group decision to sever their connection to Earth (or were they the most vocal minority?)
Sounds like they went crazy native, and destroyed the only thing that get them home, or for home to find them
I vaguely recall from the beginning of the story that the Earth government sounded somewhat totalitarian. So I've wondered from the start whether the "event" was deliberately induced to cut off contact.
