I am not a usual reader of this newsgroup so I hope this has not already been discussed... I have heard that while the US has more than one shuttle, in an effort to save money, only one set of some of the more expensive electronics exists or existed as that one set was blown up with the Challenger. The one set of electronics was moved from shuttle to shuttle as needed and replacing this set is one more complication in getting another shuttle off the ground. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, what components were moved from shuttle to shuttle. Rick Schieve ...ihnp4!ihu1g!rls
