Is this a joke "grounding the fleet"? Cannot exactly be good for morale of the current crew. What idiot decided to release this statement?

Foam loss must be fixed before shuttle flies again
NASA's shuttle program manager says the spaceship won't fly again until the agency understands why a large section of foam peeled away from Discovery's external fuel tank during yesterday's launch. Discovery's mission is the first shuttle flight since Columbia was lost in 2003 after being struck by falling foam. A NASA news conference is underway.

Let's just give the job to Burt Rutan. He would save tons of $$$ doing it.
