I counted 38
that's crazy! but if anything happens, those 38 signatures will never be seen again afterwards!

| True. The certificate also says they know there is an issue with debris falling off the SRB, but they feel based on previous missions its a calulated risk worth taking Quote: |
The ice-frost ramps remain classified "probable/catastrophic" in NASA's risk matrix, meaning there's a 50-50 chance a piece of foam could break away from one over the 100-flight design life of an orbiter and cause catastrophic damage
| Interesting aswell

Yup, dont think the issue was as big as first thought tho. Well clearly wasnt, it didnt blow up.
The KU-band antenna fixings, there thinking about sending it up as it is and replacing them after this mission. Great if it goes to plan, but if anything happens someones in the sh!t

I like your technical explination of the Antenna problem btw Paul. "Screws are too short"
Maybe they should nip down to homebase.
