Finally some good news, the mother of two children is saved by
providence. See Officer Bert, now you don't have a reason to stay get
out of there. Forget trying to collect a forth time, you and your wife's
lives are more important, go.

No, she's not saved yet. NASA has sent someone out to glue on a
replacement tile so the launch will not be delayed. Seems a window
cover fell off and dropped some sixty feet hitting and cracking one of
the tiles.

What still could delay the launch is if it rains tomorrow. Believe it
or not, the tiles are so fragile that rains drops could damage them on
lift-off!

Just said they have replaced the damaged part and launch is still for
go. Did you see that sky just before conference started, rather bleak
;-)

Oh, for holy cotton candy sakes, I thought we asked those glue
gun tile guys to stand down already. What, a shuttle window cover fell
off too, what else can go wrong? It's getting hairy at Indy Base One
Command Center. First, cane Emily wind monster that she is now bearing
down on the launch pad, Dennis is breathing down my Indy base throat,
Saul is frying in the desert, coffee boys are posting their net pics,
per Officer Bert the moisture is getting into all the shuttle wiring,
Officer Greysky with his space-monkeys, it's getting hectic all right.
Officer Double-A you mean they are going to proceed with the launch even
though stuff is still falling off? Come on, everyone knows it takes
space age crazy glue time to set and if you allow the tile joints to
move too soon the whole thing could fall apart. The humanity, oh the
humanity of it all, have they at least sent a priest for that poor
mother of two and crew? Where is Darla, what is taking so long? We need
those Star Ships now.

carry on,

Did the Bismarck decline to go into battle just because it had a stuck
rudder?

Did the Hindenburg fail to make its scheduled flight just because it
had a leak?

Ha! Ha!

I wonder what kind of heavy tranquilizer they have the crew on to keep
them from last minute bolting?

Oh, didn't you know, once the shuttle is pressurized there is no
turning back, they're locked in unless the mission control countdown is
aborted. Oh this is too much, poor Officer Bert, no wonder he is down
there losing his mind worried about that mother of two. The stuff they
must have them on we all are going to need it. And they can't wait any
more even if the tiles and other stuff are falling off because then
Emily will put then out of business, oh the humanity.

Hi nightbat Those tiles coming off should be NASA biggest nightmare. I
did not think a glancing hit by the plastic window removable covers
would do so much damage to a part that keeps the Discovery from blowing
up coming back into the air. If this is reality NASA has been very lucky
only one shuttle in 55 tries has blown up. This uncertainty feature
could create a probability that shuttles can blow up every time. The
big laugh is NASA said the shuttles would be so reliable that they would
fly once a week(oh Ya) Listened to a discussion last night,and the last
words were Shuttles never did anything of significants,and were never
really safe. With this in mind would you all let a mother of two who
has never been in space fly this Rube Goldberg shuttle? I think she
would be best used to crazy glue back the tiles that came off. I can see
woman making better space walkers. Bert

Hi Double-A NASA has the crew on "crazy mushrooms" They are very
cheap,and grow all over Florida. Very good in pasta,or pizza topping.
Even when the Discovery is on the ground these seven astronauts are half
way between the Earth and Moon.In reality it might be the only virtual
way NASA can safely get them off the ground. They might not give crazy
mushrooms to the mother of two,for she could be pregnant. If she has a
child in her belly we could say there are 8 astronauts in the Discovery.
This can lead to some interesting thinking. That could be the reason
NASA chose this lady?? Its the best reason I can think of.

Two in 55 I think... a very bad rate.

I hope they were joking...

I agree...
