...cream, the foam dries to the hardness of a brick, which could conceivably damage the fragile external tiles that protect the shuttle during its fiery re-entry. When it was later disclosed that the spacecraft had spent 39 days idling on the pad before launch--enduring episodes of freezing rain that could have loosened the foam further--the case seemed closed...
...eyes wide shut to the fact that he had in hand only about half the budget he required. This meant that he had no room for error, not even for a day's delay in shooting. So, of course, the errors started compounding immediately. It wasn't supposed to rain on the first day of shooting, but it did, turning the location into a quagmire.

To ask such questions would be to rain on this parade. It would also be beside the point, which is this: even in the face of doom, potentially only days away from what might be the demise of their city?s favorite son, Tikritis can laugh, sing and put on a show. Nothing special? You tell...
