Well well well...were the heavens telling NASA something with those thunderstorms?


KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida (CNN) -- Workers at the Kennedy Space Center on Monday found a crack in the foam insulation on the space shuttle's fuel tank.

A NASA spokesman said the foam that is cracked covers a bracket that connects the liquid oxygen feed-line to shuttle Discovery's external fuel tank.

It was discovered during an inspection Sunday evening, and is 4- to 5-inches- long and an eighth- to a quarter-inch wide, NASA said.
