It could all be fixed if the friggin NASA people would go against the Greenies and go BACK to manufacturing the foam the old way.

What a waste of taxpayer dollars....the shuttle program and the UN in NY should both be done away with.

Aside from filling the news for several days and prolonging this tired program until someone gets a better idea, why are we still taking this thing into orbit, spending time repeating old experiments on the space station and generally burning money just to show that we can?

This just in:
Debris reportedly falls of Taepodong-2, shortly after launch.

The headline says it fell off of the shuttle, but the story seems to make clear it fell from the external tank--in this case, a huge difference.

"Discovery was so high by then that there wasn't enough air to accelerate the pieces into the shuttle and cause damage, he said."
But apparently strong enough to rip them off the tank. I would sure like to know if the solid rockets had been jettisoned by this time in the flight.

About three minutes later, three or four pieces of debris were seen flying off the fuel tank, and another popping off a bit later, said shuttle programme manager Wayne Hale. Is GM making Shuttles now?

NASA should sell advertising space on all the falling pieces of foam.

How wonderful to see Discovery take off on JUly 4. Gave me goose bumps. The astronauts are incredibly brave.
Prayers for a safe mission and their safe return.
