NASA successfully launched space shuttle Discovery this afternoon. At first look, there appeared to be no damage done to the shuttle, though there was foam falloff as expected. NASA engineers are looking over tons of camera footage to make certain that it will be safe for Discovery to return to Earth safely in two weeks.
They really need to get the foam inside the tank somehow; that would eliminate this needless risk from a shuttle program that already has enough risks that go along with it.
Congratulations to NASA on a spectacular 4th of July launch.
