Stuff falling off Shuttle, NASA says "Not embarrassing"
"No one knows why the cover - held in place with tape and weighing less than 2 pounds - fell off, she said. The covers are used prior to launch to protect the windows while the shuttle is on the launch pad, then removed before liftoff." Yeah, they're just all on top of things... "We have done everything that we know to do," NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said afterward. I believe he meant it too. The "NASA says not embarrassing" reference is from local TV news, running as I'm writing this.
