	I couldn't agree more.  This has been my attitude ever since the
Challenger disaster.  I just don't see why they have to spend more than 
two years without a single flight, missing many important launch windows
for various projects, just to have an all temperature space shuttle,
when they could have just flown it on a warm day in almost perfect safety.

	Sure the O ring thing had to be fixed, but did it have to kill
the entire U.S. space program in the meantime?
