Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Endeavour arrived safely in Florida by Notme dfsfs

After two weeks of mission on the orbit, the space shuttle Endeavour received the ok to come back home on Earth, but one day early than planned. Due to concerns that Hurricane Dean might hit Houston and the NASA's Mission Control will become inoperable, but later the worries evaporated as Dean headed instead towards central Mexico.The mission managers have commander Scot Kelly the ok, as engineers concluded there were no holes or cracks from micrometeorites or space junk.The unrepaired gouge in the Endeavour's belly didn't pose any threats the shuttle or its seven astronauts, although reentering Earth's atmosphere always is risky. The gauge was made when a piece of foam insulation or ice from a bracket on the external fuel tank broke off and bounced in Endeavour. NASA didn't expect that to happen: "We didn't think that could happen before. Clearly, we're smarter now," Wayne Hale said.Barbara Morgan, a teacher that was on the shuttle said: "I think the shuttle program gets an A-plus. Once we don't have the shuttle anymore, I think it's going to be something we look back at with great nostalgia and we're really, really going to miss it."Endeavour orbited around Earth about 201 times and NASA space shuttle program manager Wayne Hale said it founded the program extraordinarily productive: "Endeavour, in fact, has performed nearly flawlessly."
