NASA: Launch pad that shattered in liftoff was flawed

[Inside KSC News Feeds]

The launch pad that shattered when the shuttle Discovery lifted off into space with seven astronauts 13 days ago shows evidence of faulty construction when the pad was built in the 1960s, NASA officials said Thursday. Repairs are planned, the officials said, and the work should be finished in time for the next shuttle flight, in October, of Atlantis.http://feeds.chron.com/~r/houstonchronicle/space/~4/310787822
