4th of July, holiday weekend and I'm being sorta lazy. However, I do keep my eyes and ears open for breaking news. This piece which I picked up from the "AP" and was also well covered on CNN Headline News is quite shocking to our vaulted science industry..............

I would never have believed it, but I saw this Yahoo News headline today and my worst fears were realized. As if we didn't already have enough horror stories about drug smuggling. Yup, read it with your own eyes:

Crack found in foam on shuttle fuel tank (AP)

Surely the AP wouldn't lie, would they? No wonder NASA wouldn't let the shuttle fly today!
