Ditto.
They won't underestimate these problems in the future. You can bet the next time a piece of foam comes off on launch that they will immediately send up another Shuttle to check it out and mount a rescue if necessary. They will not be sending up anymore Shuttles unless and until there are two ready for launch.

Yeah, but what happens if some tiles happen to fall off the rescue shuttle as it is launched? Do we keep launching shuttles until the entire fleet is sitting in orbit with a few tiles missing? (/sarcasm)
