Has NASA not learned their lesson on not launching in cold temps. If what I'm understanding is correct, ice falfrom the external fuel cell damaged some heat shields. Ice and cold temps were responsible for the Challenger. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Ice forms on the fuel cell as a matter of routine; this had nothing to do with launch temperature.

I understand that.....but the reports I'm getting from the various "experts" on FNC, NBC and ABC are reporting that there was some ice that broke away from the tank and damaged the wing. FNC reports that the Gov. of Arkansas has "possible" debris in three seperate counties.
