Oh sure, it's all fun and games...
Sept. 19, 2006 — NASA has been forced to off tomorrow's landing of the Shuttle Atlantis because of an object — possibly debris — floating nearby shortly after sensors in the craft's wings indicated the shuttle was hit by something.
They want to make sure it's not a piece of the spacecraft, something that might in some way endanger the crew and ship on re-entry.
No one knows what it is — the mysterious gray round object orbiting near the space shuttle Atlantis at an altitude of 187 nautical miles.
Flight controllers first noticed the object early this morning at 2:45am and were so concerned they had the shuttle crew delay stowing the KU TV antenna so the crew could downlink more video of the mysterious object.
