Endeavour to fly home "as is"

Endeavour's crew stayed awake past their bedtime, 8:36 p.m. EDT, before learning at 9 p.m. that they will not perform repairs on a 3-inch divot on the shuttle's underbelly.

The Mission Management Team discussed the decision for five hours.

Stay tuned to The Flame Trench for a report from a flight status briefing held at 9:30 p.m.
