Shuttles Grounded Once Again

PipianJ writes "After discovering that the piece of the shuttle that fell off mysteriously, not actually striking it, (as reported earlier) was a piece of foam insulation not unlike the piece that ended up in the destruction of Columbia, Yahoo News reports that NASA has once again grounded the shuttle fleet."

    What are you talking about? They just got one!

    Granted, it's mostly used up...

    I think that Atlantis is in need of a new Zero Point Module before it can be used for any rescue missions.

    Yes, and hopefully they can get away before the wraith find them and suck their life-force.

    Yes it's a crappy show. But in a likable way. It's far - far better TV than what we had when I was growing up in the '70s. And for an evening of popcorn sc-fi with Battlestar Galactica (which is outstanding by any measure) it's entirely palatable.

    Just be sure you watch Battlestar last, so the stargate suckitude won't show as much.

    The Daedalus already brought a ZPM to Atlantis..

    by the deadless did you mean the wraith? since they never die? wtf why would they bring a ZPM to atlantis? The Daedalus is already damaged, they barely kept it outa wraith hands.. does anyone else find it +10 'ironic' that the Daedalus can travel from one galalxy to another using just a naquadah reactor. While Atlantis needs a signifigantly charged ZPM to send people... (albeit muich faster)
