Good luck and Godspeed STS-133.

That was awesome..I want one.

AWESOME! Watched the whole thing. But did I see a tile or two fall off a couple minutes into the flight? I sure hope not.

I saw that too. Was that tiles or frozen foam?

Could just be chunks of frozen condensation from the tank.

Can't believe we're scrapping that.

So much potential still left and so much more to learn.....

It happened so fast. It broke up pretty quickly so it probably wasn't a tile.

They're higher maintenance than Angelina Jolie.

No worries. The US already signed a contract to pay $55.8 million per astronaut for six Americans to fly into space on Russian Soyuz capsules in 2013 and 2014. More outsourcing...

Still have STS-134 Endeavor launch on April 24th and STS-135 Atlantis launch on June 28th to look forward to.
