Space shuttle cleared for landing
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 12:29 PM by rocknation
Associated Press -- NASA cleared (the) space shuttle for a Thursday landing after finding that the orbiter appeared undamaged and concluding the discovery of unexplained space debris did not pose a serious problem.

Landing was set for Thursday morning, a day later than originally scheduled.

“Nothing was found to be missing or damaged,” said Wayne Hale, space shuttle program manager. “So we feel very confident that we're in for a very good landing opportunity.”


That's a relief. But I'd feel a LOT better if they could explain the unexplained debris!
