Will the shuttle burn up on re-entry?

Nasa has been goofing up a lot lately as far as the space shuttle is concerned. They were certain that the Columbia was safe, and yet it was fatally flawed. After more than a year of investigations and re-evaluations of the Shuttle fleet, the Discovery started falling apart during take-off.
So now of course Nasa will make the necessary repairs and send the Discovery back into the atmosphere, but how do we know that they haven't mucked it up again like the last two shuttle flights? I think that the Shuttle is quite likely to burn up on re-entry.

This is a bit tasteless considering people will be onboard.

No really? Sure you don't want to call NASA and the news outlets and share your hunch?

Your thread title and poll question are reversed. How confusing.

It ain't going to burn up. The problems with those strips of material are sooo minor. Unless you have a large hole in the leadinig edge of the wing, it'll be very safe.
Heck Nasa has had worst problems than this in past flights. This ain't nothing.

Also do you guys think anyone will be on board? Or will NASA ditch Discovery and use alternative means to retrieve the astronauts?

Patch that sucker up and come on home. Someone needs to test out the new patching procedure or what's the point of even having it. These people are not people that had a gun held to their head and said you get you ass on board or else. These people know exactly what can happen and take that risk as part of the job. I wish I was one of them, I'd love to goto space, but I'd also know that hey I might not come back or make it, but hey I did something that 99.99% of the people on earth will never ever do.

Some people (like you) JUST DON'T GET IT!!!!
It is only tasteless AFTER IT HAPPENS!
Scandalous Ion Cannon's Hospital - No medicines or medical equipment or personnel.
WHY? To even CONSIDER the possibility of people being hurt or dying is a bit tasteless.
Scandalous Ion Cannon's Police Force - A dangerous and inept joke.

You can follow the pattern on your own until you notice light shining from above your head.

'Killshot' Update
First hour guest, remote viewer Major Ed Dames gave an update on 'The Killshot', a series of powerful, deadly solar flares which he thinks will be impacting Earth in the very near future.
On previous shows, Dames had said the Killshot would be close at hand when the Space Shuttle is forced down by a meteor shower. Dames now believes the current trouble-plagued Discovery mission (see Repairing Discovery) is the precursor event he foresaw, noting its concurrence with the upcoming Perseids meteor shower. Dames also expressed little confidence the Shuttle would land safely, and suggested Coast listeners "say a prayer for this crew."
Dames offered a timetable to the Killshot, giving us only a maximum of two years before the Earth's magnetosphere collapses and exposes the planet to intense solar radiation. A third of the world's population is expected to perish during the event, Dames concluded.

Didn't Webster, or some other fancy pants dictionary elitist, decide that "internet" is no longer always capitalized?
