Last modified: 28 Jul 2005, 0:49:53 UTC [font='courier,courier new']All Birds are grounded? Did I get this right?[/font] [font='comic sans ms,arial']Seems that way. Apparently STS-114, has a clean bill of health for re-entry, no flawed tiles or surfaces have been seen on the visual scan, but, what that rear view camera revealed, must have made it quite clear that the problem of detaching ET insulation has not been rectified. So the 'fleet'(how many orbiters are still in business?) has been grounded; very sad, but in light of the possibilities (probabilities?) it has to be the right decision.
