This is BS meant to make folks believe they didnt know the shuttle was in danger.Of Course they knew , They had photos of the insulation hitting the wing, They could have had a military satellite look at the shuttle for them and they refused it. They took a chance with the crews lives while they kept their fingers crossed it would come down safely.

Beyond that, the board has recommended using the International Space Station (news - web sites) as an orbiting repair shop for damaged shuttles,...

That means every shuttle will have to launch toward the space station on its orbital plane whether it's scheduled to dock with the ISS or not.

Talk about not wanting to fix the problem. Fix the damn foam, and you won't need cameras all over it.
