I think instead of manning the OP, I'll stick around the launch complex next time, and participate more in the discussions. I would have needed some serious convincing to approve a flight with no redundancy in the recovery system. From another perspective, this is an example of the redundancy/complexity tradeoff. Our redundant system introduced a problem, which we worked around by disabling the redundant system. A smart decision if we *had* to launch... Did we have to launch? Well, we got away with it. Let's figure out what happened, fix it, and fly again. -R -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The only time an aircraft has too much fuel on board is when it is on fire." -Sir Charles Kingsford Smith _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
