This goose is cooked. I think NASA should send the shuttle up unmanned, finish ISS, and pull the plug. -------------------------------------------------------------- Falling foam surprises Discovery crew Robot arm eyes 6 areas for damage; spacewalk set for Saturday Friday, July 29, 2005; Posted: 2:18 p.m. EDT (18:18 GMT) (CNN) -- The space shuttle Discovery's commander said Friday that she didn't think the orbiter sustained any serious damage when foam fell off the external fuel tank during this week's launch. "We were actually quite surprised to hear that we had some large pieces of debris fall off the external tank," Commander Eileen Collins said. Collins admitted that "it wasn't what we had expected." "I don't think we should fly again unless we do something to prevent this from happening again." The space agency has said it would suspend shuttle flights until it re-evaluated why the foam still falls from the tank.
