STS-114

Okay, so I am getting kinda annoyed by all this press on STS-114. I know that the foam may be potentially dangerous, but the thing is, foam has fallen off the External Fuel Tank and Orbiter (Shuttle) on every freaking mission. Yes, I do care about the crew, but it is Semi-rediculous to ground the entire shuttle fleet because of this. Though Eileen Collins, the commander of 114 said she thought they (Meaning NASA) had fixed the foam problem. Apparently either NASA lied, or they flat-out thought their foam thing they did worked. Nonetheless, I just hope by saying "the shuttle fleet is grounded, at least for now" that doesn't mean the shuttle will never fly again. After all, America has got some very important pieces that need to be added to the International Space Station, that pretty much only the shuttle can take up. Besides, The Russians and their Soyuz vehicle have done so much for us, we only owe it to them to get our system working again.
Apparently Steve Robinson and Soichi Noguchi took an EVA (spacewalk) today and they hopefully found nothing wrong...
Sorry that blabbed on and on, I am just annoyed and hoping everything works out on the shuttle.
Crap this is a long entry.
I promise I won't do this longa one again.
Peace and LET IT BE!
