In this scenario, it would probably be the rational path forward, as you're in a situation where you're guaranteed to die either way. So why not make your death as painless as possible?

I dunno... I don't know how much help they needed from the ground to pilot (I know they needed a lot, but I mean in the case there isn't any, could they pilot at all?), but if they could manage to get picked up by the guy orbiting it might be interesting to just fly through space for a bit, or even do something super crazy like try to land back on a peice of the earth. Worst case scenario you die crashing into the centre of the earth or something.
