A Higher Plane (or Should I say Shuttle)
Space Shuttle Endeavour landed safely in Florida today, brought back a little early because of Hurricane Dean. It was another mission with too much excitement... Foam from the external fuel tank broke off during launch and gouged the underside of the shuttle. NASA is saying they'll have to come up with a fix before the next mission, but that will take time. We'll talk with NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce about this past mission, and the future of the shuttle program.
