According to NASA, they don't think it was a threat.  But we'll find out for sure when they look at the heat shield with the OBSS tomorrow.

Buster you are thinking of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, with temperatures of less
than -297 and -423 Fahrenheit. At those temperatures it can liquify the air and
turn the normally soft insulating foam into concrete.

I'd say that's it Strip. Couldn't remember what it was exactly that fueled the rockets. Just remembered it was extremely cold!

Yeah sorry about the title mispelling... I was a little carried out by the launch  :rolleyes:
Too late to edit also  :noid

Like Yossarian said, they will inspect the whole heat shield with Canadarm tomorrow and dock with the ISS in 3 days.

Columbia was destroyed because a piece of Insulation foam hit the wing. At that speed a penny could rip a hole in the fuselage if it had enough force. Just saying

Read up on your physics, a penny would reach terminal velocity well before that speed (50 mph).

Penquin, in this circumstance you need to follow your own advice and stop
giving it to others.

The foam struck the leading edge of the wing it impacted around 500 mph,
it accelerated to that speed in about 50 feet of relative distance. Now, how
fast you think the terminal velocity of the foam would have been? Terminal
velocity appliess in a free fall, not a dynamic situation like a rocket launch.

This will not be another Columbia. They already made it into orbit.

Umm Columbia was destroyed on re-entry, not take off, your thinking of Challenger, but to answer olds442 it wont be another Columbia, they checked the outside of the shuttle with the Canada arm on the shuttle and there was no damage.
