More objects near shuttle

HOUSTON: Atlantis' six astronauts completed two inspections of the space shuttle on Wednesday to make sure it was not damaged from mysterious objects found floating outside the spacecraft and made preparations for a landing attempt on Thursday. Atlantis had been scheduled to touch down on Wednesday, but the landing was postponed so the astronauts would have an extra day in space for two inspections of the shuttle's wings and nose cap. — AP
