Dave, there have been many non-engine Shuttle fixes and enhancements
done since the Challenger accident. These fixes and hardware/sofware
updates would have been done anyway, but since we're grounded, it gave us
more time to complete the work. The brakes were fixed about 1 1/2 years
ago and are ready to go. (I talked to Astronaut Jon Creighton (pilot),
in person then and he assured me that the brakes were fixed along with
other items). They are also updating the software and freeing up more
memory space to 105K Bytes for avionics enhancements.
