Yep - saw that. They're not totally sure what it is, but seems that something might have shaken lose when they did a testing of some of the rockets on board in preps for landing tomorrow. Seems they're doing the smart thing though since the wing sensors sensed vibrations. After Columbia, much better to be safe than sorry in my book!
