Can someone out there fill me in on what modifications have been made to
the shuttle and launch proceedures to enhance crew safety during ascent?

Am I correct in assuming that ejection seats have been added to the flight-
deck seats? What about the people in the mid-deck?

Has the criterion for acceptable weather been updated? And if so what is it?

While I'm at it, has anything new been added to enhance saftey during re-entry?

Forgive me if this has been covered before as I have been away from the net
for awhile. If you prefer you can E-mail a response.
