As I under- stand it, it's a glider stapled to one BIG mother{expletive deleted}ing rocket. What's the deal with the upcoming unmannded test flight? And while we're at it: it is proven FACT that the "flame" we all thought we saw on the Discovery's SRB wasn't evidence of a burn through? It would seem so. Let us pray.
