It was strange. Whilst watching TV, program was interrupted to show shuttle
Discovery prepare and take off. It was like I was in 3rd grade again when the teacher wheeled an ancient TV into the classroom and we watched the
"Space Shuttle Program Begin with Launch of STS-1: Shuttle Columbia".
I know it is because of the
"Shuttle Columbia and crew lost during entry 16 minutes before landing 1 Feb. 2003". Course, same thing happened when
"Shuttle Challenger- Explosion 73 seconds after liftoff claimed crew and vehicle in1986. Shuttle flights halted while extensive investigation into accident and assessment of Shuttle program conducted."
Anyway, the Discovery take-off last Tuesday looked good to me! LOL But apparently there was some
foam shedding and
Debris may have hit space shuttle's wing. I'm so glad that
NASA Says Discovery Looks OK to Fly Home. But now,
Shuttles to be grounded after foam fault found and
Shuttle Grounding May Cause Layoffs. Still...I wonder where the dough is gonna go?
