NASA officials initially stated worry over a six inch track in the sand runway that they feared was due to locked brakes; later, though, it was announced that there was no brake damage on this flight -- the track was due to wet spots in the sand. However, NASA said that this landing was rough enough that had it been at KSC, another blown tire would probably have resulted.
