Updated 8:10 pm cdt Now word debris hit the fragile shuttle on the way out of Dodge. Hopefully all's well that ends well and everything is cool as can be
NYTimes.com: "KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — As the space shuttle Endeavour lifted off into orbit Wednesday evening, several pieces of debris fell off the external fuel tank, and at least one hit the orbiter."Astronauts in space and engineers on the ground will spend the next few days examining and analyzing the damage to see if it might pose a danger to the shuttle on re-entry.
The shuttle Columbia disintegrated in 2003, killing the seven astronauts on board, because of damage to its wing caused by falling foam during liftoff.
The countdown Wednesday proceeded without major glitches, and the weather finally cooperated, with the skies clear after showers early in the afternoon.
