-[ indistinct ] -main engine start. two...one... we got booster ignition and liftoff of the space shuttle atlantis. -sts-112 had a very similar piece of foam come off from almost the same location, but in that case, the foam hit solid rocket booster and put a dent in it. -the foam traveled -- traveled down. it struck right here, these three lines. -it didnt hit the orbiter, so it was no effect to the flight. the management team, they analyzed it and came up with the conclusion that no safety of ...
