well for what its worth grounding the shuttle, NASA must have doubts themselves about how safe the shuttle is to fly.
the fact that it has not flown for a while now indicates problems ahead for its reliability not to mention turn around time. As a technology it is too complex for the turnaround times originally envisaged and now spends most of the time in the hangar! I wonder if it will ever finish the space station on its known?
like concorde, i doubt if it will ever take normal mortals who dont have thousands let alone millions $ to pay to go into space.
