This isn't rocket science...wait, I guess it is

Is it just me, or does it seem like every time the space shuttle goes up, stuff falls off of it? Stuff like heat shield tiles, pieces of foam and the like. And sometimes the foam falls off and knocks a few heat shield tiles off to boot.

I think, how would I feel if every time I backed my car out of the driveway, parts just dropped away. (OK, bad example ... that's exactly what happens every morning on my way to work, but still...)

What I want to know is when, exactly, did NASA fall behind in glue technology? Home Depot gots epoxy that can fuse atoms, and we can't get the space shuttle to hang together for lift-off?
Even the blue stickum stuff might help is all I'm saying.

Actually, I think there already is a band by that name. They're best known for their hits Am I Worthy to Pick God's Nose? and What Does the Bible Say I Should Do With the Boogers When I'm Done?
