Obama, Mr. cutter, is sending up the Shuttle short of Personnel and w/out a spare tire, I hope nothing goes wrong. But if it does, Obama can use his special powers to go into space like Superman and save them. :(

@DayLight95 no, its being recorded my the space station, which is orbiting with the shuttle around the earth. this allows inspection of the heat shield, to see if theres any damage.

believe me, NASA does some really amazing and complicated stuff, sadly never publicized. watch nasa tv or something and learn more. lots of neat stuff.
