Faulty fuel-tank sensor causes postponement of Space Shuttle

Same company that probably makes the senders for Bayliner.

Hell if it was one of us, we would top off the tank - kick the tires and light the fires!

I dunno... Something about my liquid hydrogen valve sticking would prolly get me to cancel the ole pre-flight...

Ya know what they say... "There are Old pilots and Bold pilots... but there's no such thing as an Old Bold pilot"

:D

The sender was one of 4 and if failed a test. The sender is like an idiot light sender in a car. When it becomes uncovered with fuel it turns on a light!

I figure they will scrub the launch for things that they would have ignored before the loss 2 1/2 yrs ago.

It also turns off the engine. :)

Nothing like hitting the "OFF" switch on a millions pounds of thrust accidentally. :)
