The stunning information would be that they were concerned and taking pictures at all -- not whether they had pics in-hand.
This is the first and only comment I've seen anywhere about this. Like I said, it stinks to high heaven.
And that the brother on the ground shared this e-mailed info with his US Senator from Virginia. There was some obvious concern way high up in the skies and on the ground.
I understand the crew couldn't take a picture of the affected area because of visual limitations. I'd like to know what efforts NASA made to look at the left wing from afar.
