MSNBC's Jay Barbree says that NASA may hold off on tomorrow's scheduled shuttle landing after cameras saw "something" floating nearby; NASA afraid that it may have been something that came off of the shuttle during an overnight engine burn. They're not sure if it is from Atlantis, or just space junk.
They want to check to make sure it is nothing from the thermal protection system on board Atlantis.

Nothing to worry about. Apparently the Alliance had a dust up with some rebels and there's still a few loose items floating around. Just wait about another week and it'll all be vaporized.

The quote gives it away, at least for those of us who are old. Lost in Space. She was fixated on Dr. Smith. I remember, even though I was just a wee lad, thinking, how could someone so hot be fixated on a weasel like Smith?

Can the shuttle get back to the space station? Probably. Depends on whether they've got enough propellant margin to perform a rendezvous.
