Oh no!

The latest Space Shuttle launch has been sidetracked. There is hail damage to the orbiter. As for more:


NASA has also had less serious problems with fuel tank foam. In 1995, a shuttle on the launch pad had to be returned to its hangar for repairs after woodpeckers punched about a dozen small holes in the tank's insulation. ref. http://thestar.com.

Hey, buddy, if there's a thing we in the forests envy you in the highways, it's this space shuttle... how amazing the technology to put such a massive taxi like that in the space... beautiful, wonderful and powerful... a victory to human kind… and monkeys too...
