Re: A robotic challenge that's really out there

I saw that report this afternoon. My take on it was that something came loose from the cargo bay in the shuttle, and there was only one camera that had the object in its field of view

without stereoscopic cameras they could not tell the size or shape of the object, and last I read they have no idea what it was.

So I dont think the problem is hitting it, I think the problem is a piece of something fell off the shuttle and they dont know what it was!

I dont think the shuttle has hub caps or chrome trim, so whatever it was, it was probably something.... necessary? Important?
