NASA Clears Shuttle For Return

NASA has cleared the Discovery Space Shuttle for return to Earth.

The sole remaining issue barring a clean bill of health had been safety concerns arising from a loose thermal blanket on the exterior of the Shuttle located just under the Commander's window.

The loose blanket does not pose a danger to the Shuttle, NASA reported.
