"All three remaining space shuttles weathered
Hurricane
Frances without apparent damage, after the cyclone
weakened before hitting the Florida coast south of
Cape Canaveral. But the massive Vehicle Assembly
Building
(VAB) took heavy damage."

unknown. Florida Today, Sunday,

"The fate of NASA's multibillion-dollar
space shuttle fleet remains an open
question.

NASA recovery teams will reopen Kennedy
Space Center Monday and begin to tally
damage done at the agency's coastal
Florida spaceport. High winds from the
easternmost edge of Hurricane Frances
made it too dangerous to send teams in
to KSC on Sunday."

"Outside, winds pick up even stronger.

Hurricane Francis Threatens Space Shuttles

"Hurricane Frances could destroy space shuttles"

"But those preparations may not be enough to keep the
shuttles safe, says Olander. The roof of the building
housing
the craft was designed to survive winds of only 170
km/h
(105 mph).

"If it goes over the Cape, it's going to destroy
everything,"
says Olander. A big building like that has a lot of
surface
area and if it's only meant to sustain a category two
storm,
[Frances] is going to blow that thing apart.""
