Well, that sucks.

Just recently the news ticker flashed that the shuttle fleet has been grounded again. Apparently NASA is still having problems keeping their insulation in place. Video of the Discovery liftoff showed a chunk of the insulation falling off. Same event that doomed the Columbia. Sadly, America's return to space was pretty short. You know, it's getting to be embarassing when we have to rely on the Russians to get our asses into and out of space.

Perhaps on the brightside, the government can throw some of that money into the next generation fleet instead of the hole that is the Middle East.
