Shuttle likely to fly without worrisome ramp - Space.com - MSNBC.com

"NASA is leaning toward flying its next space shuttle mission without the protective foam ramp that broke away from Discovery's external tank during its July return to flight, according to a spokesman for the U.S. space agency."

They're finally wising up. Maybe someone at NASA read my review from November 24th in which I recommended that they cut out foam altogether...but probably not. It doesn't take a genius to realize that a ramp made out of foam might not be the best idea. Maybe the problem with NASA is too many rocket scientists and not enough dummies...or vice versa.
