Yesterday after the scrub, there is an inspecting crew that inspected the external tank for ice buildup and looked for any cracks or missing foam. Well, a crack was found. It's in discussion right now, whether it needs to be repaired and what the options are. The crack was found on the foam insulation near one of the holding brackets that hold the oxygen feed line. It's about 4-5 inches in length.

I've got my fingers and toes crossed for all of you working on this down there.
I was disappointed when I heard about the crack, but safety comes first. I hope it's repairable.
Cheers,

Best regards from NY!
