Traveling at 18x the speed of sound, 200,000 feet high, with 3500 degrees of temperature when entering the atmosphere, unfortunately there can never be an exit strategy. Only on a starship like envisioned in the Star Trek movies could maybe there have been an exit strategy. But that's a few centuries away. A very sad day for this country. jmanvegas

RE >> They had no Exit strategy in place.<< this far along there is no good reason not to have some sort of exit strategy. ---- It's not a matter if they have a problem out there, It's a matter of when, and they know that. --- Damage from a meteoroid has always worried me. If it don't take a Shuttle down it could easily make it impossible for a safe re-enter. If an exit plan can exit , then it should exit. -- Jim PS If they had any doubt what so ever about that wing damage, a plan could have been put in place, even without docking and even if they had to stay up there until we could send up another Shuttle to take equipment to them. But still I haven't found out IF the Captain or Crew were told about the debis that hit the wing on launch. WE are I guess supposed to take for granted that they were told, but I want to know that for sure above all else.
