Grrr  
Just read some bad news about the Orbiter program. Looks like NASA is not happy with the re-designed foam insulation on the external fuel tank. It appears that a piece of foam came off the tank during the launch. It does not appear to have contacted the orbiter however NASA officials are canceling all future launches until the problem can be fixed. this may mean that there will be no more launches this year. Atlantis was suppose to launch in September. RATS! this is frustrating but I guess it is for the safety of the space program to make sure it is safe and right!

The story if you really want to read it.
