- Nintendesert, on 06/14/2008, -0/+13Untrue. The cold weather caused a crack in the O-ring that allowed fuel to leak through the seal and caused a chain of explosions and structural failures that destroyed the entire thing. It cost a whole lot more than .89 and it wasn't like they ignored it, there was some speculation that the cold weather might cause a problem, but that gets into other problems of bureaucracy.
- Nintendesert, on 06/14/2008, -1/+14It's ok, you don't actually need all the parts.
- sn0wmis3r, on 06/14/2008, -0/+10"The rudder's position made the so-called bump look strange when, in fact, that piece of thermal barrier was exactly how it looked at liftoff, Mission Control said."
That protrusion was nothing. Still I hope nothing goes wrong. Good luck to them. - Aethirig, on 06/14/2008, -0/+7Discovery's starting to de-orbit as we speak. Time to turn on NASA's live feed.

- Idolwild, on 06/14/2008, -0/+5I had once heard a NASA astronaut give a talk about this. He characterized it as "normalization of deviation" - in short, NASA had "gotten away with" launching in those cold temps so many times before it became OK in their eyes, despite what the engineer's advice was.
- Myztry, on 06/14/2008, -0/+4That's what I seem to discover every time I re-assemble something. Rarely seems to stop thing working fine.
- steelaz, on 06/14/2008, -0/+4Touchdown
- inactive, on 06/14/2008, -0/+3I mean i lost parts too to my lego space shuttle, it still looked ok minus a few blocks and what not....
- MDGarci3, on 06/14/2008, -0/+3No worries people, this is the headlilne from the article, "NASA: Missing clip no threat to re-entry"
- Zaneris, on 06/14/2008, -0/+26 min to go, everything in good shape still.
- didgital, on 06/15/2008, -0/+2Crawl out from under your rock. Nothing at NASA costs $.89.

Looks like they're trying for their first opportunity, 11:15 a.m. @Kennedy
"22 minutes until touchdown...all systems in good shape...45 miles above the Earth" -- NASA TV, right now - inactive, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1Thanks! Those were excellent
- Mercedes383, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1Ha, I go look at the NASA live feed and the first thing they show is some dude chimping away on his DSLR.
- baylat, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1cool stuff. wallpaper worthy.
- buywowgoldz, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0e when, in fact, that piece of thermal barrier
http://virginiarealestatehunt.com/ - happyseamonster, on 06/14/2008, -1/+1I think t was Jimmy Hoffa.
- inactive, on 06/15/2008, -1/+1It's ok, they will make it down safely, it's not like a shuttle has ever crashed before, killing all aboard. Nope. Never. Can't happen.
- BradBrown, on 06/14/2008, -2/+1Better prep the National Guard to pick up the pieces. Non-essential floating part my ass!
- zyklon, on 06/14/2008, -9/+7I seem to remember that the Challenger exploded due to a missing O-ring that cost something like $.89. They say they're not worried about this "metal clip", but every time I see something going wrong with a shuttle mission, I prepare for the worst. Think about what they're flying.
- inactive, on 06/14/2008, -4/+1It was just the Chinese ship passing by and didn't notice snail like moving piece of garbage ahead.
- InvisibleInk, on 06/13/2008, -9/+1Oh sh!t, here we go again. Better prep the Atlantis for a rescue mission.
