Hi Brent: Respectfully, I don't think this has anything to do with it. Risking hardware is not the point. There is no "lifeboat" for Hubble missions, whereas space station missions provide a haven for the crew if the shuttle is no longer flyable due to a launch or other problem. I'd hate to think that a new safety program is primarily concerned with not risking the "fleet"; crew safety is the driving force. C. --- Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com> wrote:
My numbers are wrong. I think NASA only has three orbiters left. That would mean they risk 33% of their fleet on any mission, not 25%
