CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The Atlantis astronauts uncovered a 21-inch stretch of nicks on their space shuttle yesterday, but NASA said the damage did not appear to be serious.
The damage was likely the result of debris that came off the fuel tank shortly after liftoff Monday. The astronauts were inspecting their ship while racing to the Hubble Space Telescope when they came across the nicks spread over four to five thermal tiles.
