Shuttle safety up for good reasons!	28 Jul 2004 20:56 GMT	8
I think the shuttle will be safer than ever upon RTF. Any safety issues will result in immediately grounding the fleet. Fixes will be thoroughly examined for TWO very good reasons. This all depends on finalizing ISS plans:) It will have 6 astronauts, be finished by so and so date ...
