Some transcript conversation from the Columbia investigation..... http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=9551
<snip> This is - some additional pictures showing the crack from different vantage points. I think the one thing to note here is although the shuttle program largely deals in English units, the people who have made these measurements have put up centimeter scales. So, just be careful. Having had Tom Young on the panel earlier, we know that it's important to distinguish between English units and metric units. So, these rulers here in centimeters, so if you download these from the Web site, be sure that you recognize that the dimensions in the briefing are all in English units. MS. LAURA BROWN: Is there a Martian in there? MR. HUBBARD: Not that I know of.
