Welcome to Space.com!!<br /><br />What do you mean by fully loaded?<br />Of course the propellant isn't loaded until just hours before the launch, so in a sense it never sits there fully loaded.<br /><br />The Hydrogen and oxygen for the fuel cells is loaded only a few days before launch.<br /><br />If you mean a shuttle ready to launch except for those materials, unfortunately I don't know the answer off the top of my head. When I find some time, I'll try and find out, or if I'm lucky, someone who knows will pop up.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.
