That was pretty tasteless man.

 

[Argo]

Is anybody else concerned that they're having so many problems? First the tile falls off, then the fuel tank problem? Was the Shuttle built by GM?

 

[JoPh]

No, but it was built by the lowest bidder

oh man. thats bad. made me laugh though heh


everything is minor so far.

the fuel sensor is 1 of 4. they only need 2 to work. but yeah i understand why they cancelled it.

LOL @ the GM comment, but it sounds like they are being EXTRA safe here. THey have 1 failed sensor, out of 4. Theny need two. They figure, since they could scrub the launch, why send it up with something known wrong, so that they have less of a safety margin in flight.

There are four sensors which are redundant. The fuel needs to be removed and figure out why it was reporting a low fuel level. It is definitly possible to launch tomarrow. You don't want to go up when your redundant system has lost some of its redundancy. Does that sound redundant?
