Frank, does it sound to you like it does to me -- that even before the return flight that they had done a LOT of work figuring on this?

Yes, but anything outside of perfect during launch gets a double take. They were doing there jobs.

All of the press conferences made that point clear, the external tank insulation shed event has happened in the past, has been analyzed in detail (so there is a substantial knowledge base). I am impressed that they so openly questioned their deeply reasoned assumption, right from the start.
