	While driving to work yesterday morning, I heard on the radio
that cracks were found in the main engines of the Atlantis shuttle.
Supposedly they were serious enough to possibly cause the shuttle to
explode during its last mission. After this brief report on the radio,
I haven't heard another thing about it! None of the papers said
anything about it, neither did the news on television that night.
Could someone please elaborate on what happened and possibly offer a
reason as to why the media has ignored it?
