Things just haven't been the same since he left his TIE fighter parked in orbit, broken down and out of gas...

Is it a piece of duct tape?

It would have stayed in about the same orbit as the space station. The shuttle is now about 70 miles away from there.

Enough of the joking now. Until we know what it is, this is serious.

It is quite large, and can be seen from the ground as it catches the light.

My sentiments exactly...
I do think that this is serious.

Thanks for that comment. Nonsense has its place but not here.

It's the 11th Imam. He is circling the wagons...er, the shuttles.

I wish everybody would put a hold on the humor until we know the crew is not in mortal peril.

That's what I heard also.
Prayers for the crew.

I just heard on the 12:00 radio news that the object actually hit the shuttle. This is why further inspection of the exterior is needed.

They are still in a very high orbit. They can remain in it for as much as three months or more, depending on food and other consumables. These things were implemented after the loss of the last shuttle as emergency measures.
The plan then would be to launch the next bird as a rescue and allow the wounded bird to burn up after setting a safe trajectory for re-entry.
I don't think the crew is in danger now, but the bird may not be coming back.

Does anyone have the website address that lists when the space station will be passing overhead of various US cities?
To: Dark Skies
this is the best I could do - it is a tiny speck in the middle of large white dot. As you can see it about the size of the decimal point on the news ticker.
To: Cold Heat
From foxnews.com: "The object, which is circling the Earth in the same orbit as the shuttle and is of undetermined size, probably came out of the shuttle's cargo bay because some jets had just been fired, shaking the orbiter, NASA spokesman Doug Peterson said."
Could be bad info...

If it is, I would think it would put the Astronauts in grave danger
