This is a serious set back for the NASA team. I wonder what else they will find in the tank foam....

No drugs as I foolishly assumed then

Shame though, they'll have no choice but to postpone/cancel the launch for fear of 12cm developing into a full rupture.

Rofl, same

How come there are cracks being found all the time now and years ago none? :|

The shuttles are older.

Yeah, but the Shuttle fuel tanks are new each time (IIRC).

I think they have much more sophisticated crack detection technology now. That sounds dodgy

Watch out for manpads.

Crack on the outside, crack hoes on the inside.
