I’m trying not to worry, but I’ll be very relieved when Discovery lands tomorrow. The delay today is weather-related, but the insulation material that worked its way loose is still a big concern.

This thumbnail shows astronaut Steve Robinson making a self-portrait with the reflective shield on his helmet during his historic trip to the underside of the Space Shuttle to check the heat shield and remove stray pieces of “gap filler” material.

Like everyone, I hope they all make it down safe.
