Re: next shuttle launch... TBD

The thing is I think that if we are really serious about basing people on
Mars in the future, extreme environments and extended life of components is
very important.

My feeling here is that corrosion and thermal expansion and contraction
play a big part in this when you couple it to the very very small currents
in the system. Strange things happen at very low currents through
connections.

wisely they are disassembling the ETs sensor connector in the hopes of
identifying the root cause of the flakiness.

lets hope they can say for certain whats up........

the worst case is taking everything apart and finding it all looks
perfect, only to have more bad readings at the next tanking.

I am just glad to see they are taking the time to do it right, and not
telling the computers to ignore the sensors! effectively strapping
them out......
