@Aurora0Lights You missed spelling class....

It actually does less damage than one would expect. The terminal velocity of a penny is 70MPH, very slow in comparison to other things. If you drop it from the top level of the Empire State Building, the updraft created by resistance would simply push it back up and land back on the building. The shuttle was already facing air resistance due to generated propulsion. The foam still impacted the shuttle at a very high rate of velocity because of the shuttle's velocity, itself.
-
The people deciding that the "foam-incident" was no serious problem for the reentry must have felt/feel very bad afterwards...
-
@TheMtz432 no, no, no, see they launched the foam at the wing at different parts of the wing. And some parts of the wing may be more hollow than others. And also. This test wasn't even conducted by NASA. But nice try tho. But NASA has nothing to hide. So...."we" are not stupid. It's just you. Sooo sir. Have a nice day! Seriously. Have a nice day. I meant all that with all due respect so yeah have a nice day! :)

I have to agree. It really amazes me how a piece of foam could have caused this. But on the other hand, if you drop a penny from the top level of the Empire State Building, becouse of gravity, does it not do more damage then one would expect. Grantec a penny is harder but if this is the case then the density of a striking object wouldnt have mattered in terms of it striking athe shuttle during launch.

@TGtalesToo We owe the BBC so much. The US has a toxic culture partly due to the junk they call news, which as you point out is dependent on ratings.

@Fallparty The Idea of the solid stages built in sections appears to me a least to be risky.

BBC is the only TV station in the world that makes these types of great programs as has no commercials - so no advertisers clamoring after the highest ratings.

@Tarn1968 What isn't dangerous? You take many more risks walking out of your front door. There is no progress without risk. One reason we send humans into space is this funny thing called adventure. Almost every human accomplishment has its roots in adventure. Even if pursuing an adventure risked your life, you still go because there's something deep down inside of you that longs for it.
