Thule (depicted - name).Thule (depicted - name)Zielonki photography of a incense boat and a silver teaspoon. unknownKENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - A piece of insulation - three inches long, one-eighth to one-quarter inch wide and weighing approximately 0.0057 pounds - was liberated from a strut that attaches the liquid oxygen feedline to External Tank-119. The tank is being used to launch space shuttle mission STS-121. It was recovered by the Ice Team from the mobile launch platform at Pad 39B. It is believed that the rain experienced during yesterdays launch attempt of Discovery caused water to run down the feedline and form ice near the strut next to the feedline bracket. As the tank warmed and expanded, the ice that formed most likely pinched the foam on the top of the strut, causing a crack and eventual loss of the small piece of foam.Fan 18th century French. Fan.
