They are supposed to launch tomorrow afternoon for the ISS.

They said that they will watch the launch, and if any foam falls off and breaks the shuttle, the astronauts will be able to just wait at the ISS for another shuttle to come up and get them.

But wait a minute. What if foam falls off of that one? Then they have another set of astronauts at the ISS.

And then they have to send up a third one! And what if the foam falls off of that one?

That's why I strongly feel that, along with the crew, they should send up enough raw materials to build additional wings onto the ISS.

Or at least, materials to attach the new arriving shuttles, and turn them into various private residences. They'll have to park somewhere anyway.
