CNN.com - NASA engineer casts doubt on in flight repair order - Sep. 16, 2003: "JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, Texas (AP) -- A top NASA engineer said Tuesday the next space shuttle crew may not be able to fix a hole the size of the one that brought down Columbia, despite accident investigators' insistence on a repair kit for astronauts."
