Ok.. and the relative correct/incorrect design elements proportion in the Shuttle's case is? Cumulatively for all the things the Shuttle's done/been put through? It's probably one of the most complex machines ever made. 
The point I was making was that it's a design project that's pretty much on the front of humanity's present technological progress.. It's not a backyard amateur project with little QC, or a product whose makers consciously skimp on QC for profit (like Windows).  It's also a project that's not as complex or put through as extreme conditions as the Shuttle, so that the risk is much lesser.

Haven't read the whole thread to see if this was brought up yet, but...if we suck all the CO2 out of the air to power our billions of cars, where are we gonna get the CO2 for the plants to breathe? It's like inverting the current problem. :D Unless this fuel creates Oxygen when consumed, there's a problem here...
