Default Re: OT: Space Shuttle returns to flight

Great news about the successful lift off, but:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4719847.stm

What will they do if they find the shuttle is not fit for re-entry? Can they fix it up there, or would they have to use the escape modules on the ISS to get the crew home? Are there anough escape modules to bring them all back down?
