a comment on the go for shuttle launch

dwc — 7/25/2005 3:28:49 PM (archived)

I really can't say I disagree with their decision to go ahead and launch the shuttle even if the fuel sensors exhibit the same problem as they did 2 weeks ago. However in my experience when you resort to blaming it on a grounding problem it is like saying I really don't know what's wrong. Like my doctor saying it's idiopathic when he couldn't figure out what was causing my heart anomaly.
