They said they could deal with it though, doesn't even seem as big as the ECO sensors. I wonder what s_g has to say.

Not a problem. The writer at flight international noted in on nasaspaceflight and some engineers answered it.<br /><br />http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=2976&posts=7&start=1<br /><br />Also some interesting stories about the tank on www.nasaspaceflight.com

Surely there's a finite amount of water, and it must eventually drain out. Well before the stack leaves the VAB I would have thought. <br /><br /><br />EDIT: Rag, edit your link mate! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>
