"BUMPED" BUT NOT "BUMPED-OFF"
Discovery is scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center, Fla., at 11:15 a.m. EDT Saturday....
The crew members of space shuttle Discovery have been spending the day getting ready for their return home and the end of the STS-124 mission.
After completing a standard day-before-landing test of the shuttle steering jets, the crew members indicated they had seen an object floating away from the shuttle from behind the rear portion of the right wing. Shortly afterwards, the crew members described what they called a "bump" on the left side trailing edge of Discovery's rudder.
