Just a question from a naive shuttle fan:

Isn't it possible to launch a shuttle with no crew?  That is, allow
everything to be computer controlled.  I think I read somewhere that the
shuttle crew could technically 'fly' the shuttle with their hands folded
in their lap.  No flames, please.  Just trying an idea I thought I read
somewhere.

Later,
