I wish I could see a shuttle launch*.
I have been thinking about it too, praying for a safe trip.

Well, maybe Lilith will get a chance to take her kiddo's after all.
*shrugs*
Sucks that it was postponed, but at least they are playing it safe.

nothing re-scheduled as of yet either....... ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry but NASA is losing it's credibility faster than you can say 'another faulty fuel gauge'.

Imagine how embarassing it would be to have to send a tow truck up when it runs out of gas?

Lil, if they can't meter their usage of the fuel, they won't know when and if they are in
danger of a burn fizzing early ( if the other three sensors fail).
The sooner they get rid of the shuttles and go to a space-plane for the crew and
rockets for the payloads the better.
