Shuttles don't carry airliner-style FDRs, so this headline comes across as bogus.

That was the direct quote from MSNBC Television within the past few minutes. I'm not sure what recorder they're referring to, as I, too, thought that all telemetry was transmitted to Houston.

all telemetry

According to Oberg, there are many data streams going to many places. There are 4 PC style computers onboard. Perhaps this is one of the hard drives.

They're just playing catch-up with CNN who ran a crawler the day of the accident saying the shuttle was traveling at the "speed of light"
