Nothing wrong? ET foam impact has been taken as an "acceptable risk"
from the very beginning of the program. One of those Russian Roulette
bullets turns out to be a foam bullet. Here's a link to the CAIB
report if you want to have a closer look at what they had to say:


What I mean is, during the countdown leading to the launch of STS-107,
there was nothing wrong - ET foam impact could not be predicted during
the countdown - Husband and McCool couldnt' look out the window and
say "oh ****, looks like the bi-pod ramp foam may fall and I think
this time it may hit one of the RCC panels - OK, 'Houston, HOLD THE
COUNTDOWN!'"
