Space Shuttle Launch

I read “Dicovery Reviews Continue for July Launch” on NASA News. It was about NASA Shuttle Program Manager, Wayne Hale, speaking at the space program’s Debris Design Verification Review meetings on the status of STS-121 mission. He said that the shuttle will release foam debris during launch but the mission still go on. NASA Engineers are still working in this problem.

I was interested in this article because when I was young, I had dreamed to be an astronuat. I agree with this mission because I think discovering other planets can show us how our Earth used to be and how it will be in the future. I believe that everry planets in the same Universe born and will die in the same way. However, NASA should think over the hazardous waste that will release after shuttle launch, how they can eliminate it or how they can clean it up.
