You don't need to by an astronomy expert for this, just an aeronautical engineering one... they are very very very cautious at NASA. Do a google of deaths in science, particularly antartica.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

I hope there will be fireworks this time too....
Re: 4th of july shuttle planned to launch despite foam problems
The problem with the foam was a small crack at a hose connection which feeds super-cooled fuel to the main fuel booster tank - the big red one which has all the problems with foam. However, the foam at this area will crack anyway when the hoses are pulled shortly before launch. It was determined not to be a problem.

Precisely why do you think that was remotely funny?

Re: 4th of july shuttle planned to launch despite foam problems
Is there any scientific purpose to these continuing missions? Or does NASA just want to remind everybody that they're still important/around?

No. They want(ed?) to use it to complete the ISS but you don't need a crewed vehicle for that and is a white elephant anyway. Our crewed space program is a great waste. Let.... I'll just say others, deal with it. Others being not NASA.
The launch was delayed 30 seconds on NASA tv. Weird.

And you would't mind people dying to see that happen ?
