A matter of utmost gravity | Destroy: Secure Clamp

[Dave]

I'm at the part where I have to bomb the clamps, there are helpful hints as to where to put the bombs but I don't want to do this, I want to walk away and go down the other route of the story. Can I do this or have I gone too far?
Thanks

You have to destroy the clamps to continue the story. The part where you choose the fate is the next one. You can also just shoot the clamps with your spacesuit laser. no need to waste bombs.

After freeing the cocoons you are tasked to fly back out. Before you do though, you can see another two switches next to the door you came through. These will open the energy cores. Then you can decide to blow the structure up or not. This is the decision point.
