This that and the other thing. Though there might be more of this than that. And little of the other things. Maybe.

Endeavour Update

On August 8th, the Space Shuttle Endeavour took off for the space station. During the launch two tiles on the underbelly, near the wing, were damaged. According to NASA repairs are not needed for Endeavour to return safely.

For those who're interested, Roland Piquepaille's blog has pictures from Neptec Design Group of the damage to the tiles. Thanks Toph

Happy Friday everyone. May you all go country line dancing tonight because that's what your friend wants to do for her birthday and you can't get out of going without feeling like a major shlameel (shlamazel?). Or something.

You're welcome. I still find it hard to believe that NASA isn't going to try to patch the hole. If nothing else to have a real test of how well patching can be done in space.
