Discovery Touchdown

Good to see the Space Shuttle Discovery back on the ground; we watched its descent at work on the BBC website. I just wish they could work out what needs doing to stop all this foam falling off the fuel tank during take-off. I know the orbiter is due to be retired in 2010, but in the meantime it’s got a lot of important work to do if the space programme isn’t to collapse and you can’t afford every mission to be like walking on eggshells.

I want to be able to stand on Mars before I die!
