On close examination of white splotches on the Shuttles right wing edge, NASA engineers concluded with much delight that the spots were nothing more than bird droppings!
According to Shuttle lead flight director Tony Ceccacci:
These bird droppings withstood regular Florida thunderstorms, a mighty Fourth of July launch during which 300,000 gallons of water is sprayed at the shuttle’s main engines, and a burst upward through Earth’s atmosphere. During that launch Discovery went from zero to 17,500 mph in just under 9 minutes.
p(O)ops.
