Endenvor Has Returned

NASA beat the odds again (or lucked out) and brought the Space Shuttle back to earth even with a "puncture wound" with out a band aid or dressing over the scrape in the outer skin. I believe that NASA is actually on a bad stream of luck. The "nick" in the tile was quoted as a 1000 to 1 shot as the tank insulation broke off 58 seconds into the flight, hit a strut and bounced back and hit the bottom of the shuttle. Sounds far fetched if you ask me. Surly somebody can design a insulated LOX tank that won't down the Space Shuttle in the process of doing it's JOB. .... :)
