Whew! That's how I felt on this mission. Haven't been nearly as concerned with the previous flights like I have with this one.
I'm thinking they should scrap the shuttle and wait for the newer model to come out. Seems like they are flying an old Chevy Vega with parts falling off at every turn.
Just too old and hard to maintain, and the expectation of loss of life seems unreasonably high.

I'm glad they are back safe.

As for shelving the shuttle, don't they have obligations to be part of the ISS supply chain?
