For most shuttle launches, all 4 of the fuel gages on the external fuel tank must be operational. I guess NASA figured out "Gee, we're letting a little thing like one of 4 fuel gages from accomplishing one of the greatest feats in human history? Lets have a little courage, and launch the shuttle"
Sounds good to me.

what happens if all 4 of the working gauges fail(there should be 5, one main gauge and 4 backup gauges) and they need that last gauge the one that isn't working??
P.S. its gauges plam boy not gages >:)
I messed up palm on purpose.......
(Thanks for the correction, I thought it was wrong)
The gauges are used at liftoff to measure the fuel in the external tank. The gauges will be in use for all of 2 hours, MAX. If NASA had a little spine, it would have launched it the first time around.
