So is "17 or so flights remaining on the manifest".

The "5 each" comment has the qualifier "about", which means it could
be 4 flights each, or 6 flights each just as easily.

Might not. We've seen glitches like this throughout the Shuttle
program. Sometimes they result in launch delays, sometimes not.

the program has a long history of delays, espically after a accident.

does anyone REALLY believe that RTF wouldnt bring more safety
groundings before 2010?

You're backpeddling from your sensationalist message headers again,
Bob. Spaceflight Now does not say there will be only 15 more flights.
That may very well be true, but it is not the reality ("15 flights now
Max") you claim it to be.

It's wacko interpretations like this thread of yours that really cause
you to lose any sort of credibility in this group. You're the National
Enquirer of sci.space.
