Great, no sooner do I post about the anniversary of the moon landing, than FOX news comes on with a bit about NASA grounding the entire fleet of Shuttles today after foam came off the external booster during lift off of Endeavor (STS-127) this morning.
There were set to be I think they said 7 more launches, with the next one scheduled for next month, before the fleet was due to be retired.
I was unable to locate the information on NASA's website when I just searched through their press releases, but I did not spend a lot of time looking elsewhere on the site for the information.
STS-127 is a 15 day mission to complete the construction of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory.
I wish the crew of Endeavor a safe journey and look forward to watching them, on TV, make a safe landing back home at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
