Re: Weather - Discovery

yeah they have four liquid level sensors in the large external fuel tank that contains liquid hydrogen... the launch commit criteria requires all four to be working ... apparently one was not... could be sensor in the tank which would be bad news or perhaps a wiring problem, or even software issue...

I'm assuming this is the problem from info I'm getting from KSC... but not 100% positive... regardless, safety of fiight comes first as it should...
