Shuttle Endeavour Commander Scott Kelly witnessed a micro-meteorite 
debris strike on one of Endeavour's windows this morning.

NASA mission commentator Rob Navias said "it is considered to be a 
nick on the window" and "will have no effect on the mission."

Astronauts took photos of the damage and sent them to ground control 
for analysis.
