Unfortunately they had no Exit strategy in place. They were not equipt for space walk or docking with the space station or a secondary orbiter. It is a sad day, and my condolences to all. Another 2 1/2 year set back. Perhaps this might be a good time for NASA to think about the new designs to replace the 30+ years old shuttle technology. Bob

I believe crew actually took pictures of damage and sent back to NASA. NASA could have sent another space shuttle to repair shuttle but choose to go the cheap route. In days and perhaps years we will find it was Human error allowing such an old shuttle to even attempt such a landing. God Bless all those brave souls aboard
