So, what exactly is the point in examining the engines now? If they seemed
to be saying there was no problem from the levels of possible contamination
before the hail delay, then why are they worried now?

OK, I guess it would satisfy curiosity, if they are attempting to figure out
the reasons etc, but I seem to recall reading that the levels were not a
problem.

04.27.07 - 3 p.m. EDT
In high bay 1 of the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center,
Fla., technicians and engineers continue repairing foam on Atlantis'
hail-damaged external fuel tank. Spray foam repairs are scheduled to begin
Monday.

Workers have begun disassembling the special scaffolding built for the foam
repair work. This will allow clearance for the removal of the shuttle's
three main engines to be inspected for flow liner contamination.

The rollout of Atlantis to the launch pad is scheduled for May 12.
