Rather have this be an issue now. (Score 2, Interesting)

As much as I am disappointed in the delayed launch, I am willing to give NASA the benefit of the doubt about the seriousness of this malfunction (some would like to question the necessity of scrubbing the launch over a redundant sensor failing). I've since grown too tall (6'4) to think of any time in space, but when columbia disentigrated, I was not. The accident made me reconsider my dreams, and an accident with Discovery would make the nation do the same thing, which would be a very bad thing.
