striking Discovery..
It didn't look to me,like any of the heat shield was damaged but,It was hit by chinks of insulation from the main tank...

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
after the next, we will have to pay someone else to get someone, or thing in to space, for us the space race is dead, sad.
I watched three from with in 5 miles, that was awesome
in north florida we saw the plume, it was awesome

I live in Cocoa,about 4-7 Mi from 39A. I have seen all the launches,in the past 3 years.One night flight I actually went over on the Cape,where the "clock" is.THAT was really cool!!

only for a while unless they cut Orion/Constellation
the first unmanned test is supposed to be 2014 and first manned flight in 2015.
We are going back to a more traditional rocket concept, the Orion resembles an overgrown Apollo
Weather they'll both happen or not,is to be seen..
if they are structurally sound, fly
look at the B52's
they should let the engineers tear down and inspect

From what a saw,the pieces came off the main tank.Probably insulation and struck the underside of the shuttle.
I didn't look to me,like any panels came off the orbiter but,it may have loosened some..
I guess we'll soon find out.
