NASA has learned that air, "liquefied by the super-cold fuel in the tank",
almost certainly seeped into a crack or void in the foam, or collected
around bolts and nuts beneath the foam. The trapped air expanded as the
shuttle rose, and blew off a chunk of foam the size of a suitcase..."

This would be a possible explanation if, "air," liquefied at ambient
temperatures.

So NASA is going to go with the standard Democrat approach of, "Bluff The
Morons".

"Air", does not liquefy at sea level pressures, or local Florida
temperatures no matter what the geniuses at NASA say. This is a horrific
excuse for the damage to the shuttle and heads ought to roll after this
scam.

Let's lay the blame where it should apply. Democrat NASA administrators

chalk up another 7 on their score sheets.
