I love a shuttle launch, I hope this one is successful and no foam drops off!

Discovery's launch to the International Space Station is targeted for July 1, with a launch window that extends until July 19. During the 12-day mission, Discovery's crew will test new hardware and techniques to improve shuttle safety, as well as deliver supplies and make repairs to the station.
I dont know why they dont cover it with that nylon bird net
Have they still left it uncovered. .. there has to be a better way.
All the best for the mission we really need a happy ending as another set back will be very hard to take and in real terms will upset future funding.
