There was a fair amount of NASA mention of it this morning.
Fair enough.
The BBC rather poingiantly (sp?) recorded the last words of Columbia as
"Roger...erm..."; so it looks like they didn't get much warning of an
imminent problem.
I heard on
ABC news this afternoon that there had been
some external fuel tank insulation knocked off during
launch of the Columbia, and it had impacted the wing
Although that sounds somewhat
implausible (how would ABC know, when no-one
else does?), I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it was the case. Incidentally,
does anyone know if Columbia had been updated to the latest
flight s/w & h/w? I know there was work on-going to do this, but I've no
knowledge of what stage they'd got to.
Would a newer version of Windoze have reduced the chances of
blue-screening?
