NASA draws a "conclusion" that, contrary to the agency's earlier assertions, the crash of the space shuttle Columbia was indeed caused by foam that broke off a fuel tank during liftoff and hit the front of the craft's left wing. The commission investigating the crash says it suspects that's right but hasn't settled on the theory yet.
