Tell me again why anyone would want a ride on the space shuttle?HOUSTON - NASA engineers worked feverishly Monday to decide whether Endeavour's crew would have to perform risky repairs to a gouge on the ship's belly later this week.
Two spacewalking astronauts were set to spend the day replacing a broken space station gyroscope.
A chunk of insulating foam smacked the shuttle at liftoff last week, creating a 3 1/2-inch-long gouge that penetrates all the way through the thermal shielding on the shuttle's belly. (H/T - Yahoo!)
What the hell are they securing these foam tiles with, scotch tape? With every launch, NASA loses more and more credibility.
