It has happened to a lot of people. From Michael Jackson to Tiger Woods. When you just keep on doing something, a lot better than any other person in the world, there is a point of time when you would start getting a little complacent and a little sloppy. Probably that is what happened to NASA. An organisation, which is the home of the best technology known to mankind is not something you would expect to fail. But it did happen in 2003 with the Columbia disaster.
So now the world was watching Discovery's reentry into earth with bated breath, especially after NASA annonced that the debris of insulating foam that fell off during the take off could have caused some damage. It is no understatement to say everybody is relieved to hear the news of a clean landing. Hope the insulating foam doesn't become NASA's Achille's heel
