As NASA engineers scrambled to assess the damage to the space shuttle Columbia after its launch, Rodney Rocha knew what should be done: get better pictures. The launch had seemed "picture-perfect," in the words of senior shuttle manager Linda Ham, but the next day a routine review of the launch tapes had revealed a 20-inch piece of hardened insulation foam breaking off the huge main fuel tank and hitting the shuttle's left wing. The problem was the shots of the incident were either blurry or taken from a bad angle, so the engineers could not assess the danger to the orbiting shuttle and its seven-member crew. Analysts were left guessing. Where exactly did the debris strike happen? How big was the piece of foam? Was this a serious event? Despite the many uncertainties, several engineers arrived at the same conclusion: the piece of foam, measuring 20 inches at its widest point, appeared to be the largest debris hit of its kind in the space shuttle program's 113-flight history.
