Heads all over would roll if it did.

[Jamesadin]

Its about time. Its been awhile since anything has been sent into space.... manned that is.

[Adrenachrome]

And they're gonna do what? Play with water ballons and jerk off, I don't see the purpose, unless they are sending them somewhere intead of just 'in space'

[Kaneda]

Waste money... duh.

[sue_13]

They said some pieces fell off of it when the launched it and they are analysing it to see if it could cause problems... discovery anyone?

[badboy]

Yeah, the space station is a complete waste of time, they need to at least make it huge so people from Earth can go live there, but they don't, they just "play with water ballons and jerk off."

Thermal tile and some insulation foam from the external fuel tank...which is what struck the Columbia's engines and made it disintegrate on re-entry.

It says a bit about it here: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/science/20050727-0728-spaceshuttle.html

I bet those astronauts will be pissing their pants when they re-enter.

Or conduct experiments to see the effects of zero gravity on different situations.

[RoboticSilence]

Different situations like playing with water balloons and jerking off.
