The shuttle cargo thing was bad because of the very thing that happened: JPL
knew that any problem (as in loss of crew) meant long delays that could be
avoided by using non-crewed launch vehicles. And there was Galilleo designed to
only fit on the shuttle and ended up delayed for forever and a day.
