From CBSNews.com, referring to Discovery:
"The fuel gauges are needed to prevent the main engines from shutting down too soon or too late during liftoff. The first scenario could result in a risky, never-attempted emergency landing; the second could cause the engine turbines to rupture and destroy the spacecraft."
Since when does the orbiter have turbines?
