unclejimbo Foam 'might have struck shuttle'
Nasa officials have said they now believe at least one shard of protective foam might have hit a wing of the Discovery space shuttle.

But he stressed there was a "divergence of opinion" at Nasa on whether the foam had actually made contact.
"There are 11 indications of potential impacts," said Steve Poulos, manager of the orbiter project office.

Folks, this is what you get when you try and go into space on the "Better, Faster, Cheaper" plan. You really do get what you pay for.
As for the boys (and girls) at NASA, I have one suggestion:
Gentlemen; Paint the tank!
