Shuttle launch scrubbed again due to bad weather

Rescheduled for the 4th, hopefully the weather wont be so bad.

its good they are being extra careful

The real answer is North Korea has threatened to shoot it down....

[butterflybucks]

the 4th? Let's hope it doesn't add to the Fireworks show!

[Quagmire]

I can think of faster and cheaper ways to blow up scientists.

They were saying a few days ago on CNN that if they lose another one they may shut the entire program down.

[MrKinkade]

they should be extra careful they've lost two and they said if one more vehicle is lost the shuttle program is dead for good... and they still need them for 4 years

Time for a new program anyway. A whole design makes sense. That's prolly in the works, just haven't been following NASA that closely.

Let's hope this one goes off with out a hitch. You couldn't pay me enough to be on that crew.

It sucks but the weather can't be helped. I was thinking of going to see this launch as it might be the last but glad I didn't as I 'd probably be there for a week waiting instead of a couple days.


...A July 4th liftoff at 2:37:51 p.m. EDT (1837:51 GMT) on Tuesday carries the best chance of launching Discovery this week, said U.S. Air Force Lt. Kaleb Nordgren, of the 45th Weather Squadron at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.

Let's hope there won't be any fireworks from the shuttle on that day.

They should have launched yesterday, it was a beautiful day. I think NASA just wants to launch on the 4th of July.

Yeah I was really hoping it would have been yesterday as they would have docked with the International Space Station on the 4th and was due to fly over Vegas the night of the 4th

Meanwhile the Chinese have set an upcoming date to walk on the moon...

July 4th would be a great day for a shuttle launch anyway.

[gooddomains]

they should finally bring a new shuttle type up tp use

[Cyndalie]

I like the shuttles they used in Armageddon, but they should be using ballistics or better launching techniques. Be cool if it could launch into the upper atmosphere piggybacking one of those new bigass Airbus or something. Hell we have so much technology and space is the future to our survival as well as for finding means to live more efficiently. I hope things go well on the 4th!
