The Discovery landed today, one orbit late, and suffered
a blown right outboard tire and damage to a wing.  The
tire blew shortly after touchdown, but in no way jeopardized
the landing; in fact, the shuttle maintained the center
line the entire time.  Engineers also found that two tiles
were missing from a wing, and a hole had been burnt into
the wing structure where it was unguarded.  NASA has yet
to assess the damage.
