[Doctor Raoul]

This tracking camera may not have been used prior to re-entry. If not, that's a major blunder. I wonder at what altitude was this picture taken and if the same resolution (enough to see the damage) would have shown the damage while the shuttle was on orbit?

Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Columbia were apparently so concerned about possible damage to the orbiter during launch, that they photographed the left wing and even sent e-mails about it.

NASA should release these pictures.
