You are grounding the shuttle for what may be forever.
Now lets get this straight, you have a vehicle called a Shuttle that has a
big external tank, are you all still there and listening.
The big external tank is covered by a foam, when the shuttle with the big
orange tank takes of bits of foam from the big orange tank breaks away and
causes damage to the Shuttle.
Now America you are going to ground then scrap the whole space programme
because the great nation of America is not able to fix foam falling from
the
big orange tank.
God help America.
Get the Chinese's involved they will have a fix for it in a few hours.
I think the Chinese should concentrate on giving their people basic
human rights and freedoms rather than monkey around in space.
