Shuttle delayed again

[wayneg]

Another 24 hour delay, hope it gets off tomorrow, more delays might have a knock on effect for August launch, already delayed until 18th+

Don't think I'm going to see it at this rate

 

[Cyrano]

There was 11 reported lightening strikes around the launch-pad

There are windows for 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and then not until 27th June.
Each day the launch time increases on increments of 20 minutes.

Understand the need for safety but hope that we get a chance to see this

I know American Space travel is good - but I didn't realise they had cracked time travel as well

Said on news this morning that if it doesn't go up in next couple of days they will postpone it for a couple of months. We are REALLY hoping to see Discovery go up in august but each time this one gets delayed the chances are getting smaller

Listening to the commentary on here makes me feel like I'm on Mission:SPACE

Just listened to the latest weather forecast - looks like it could be a 'Go!' Fingers crossed!

They are just evaluating weather now. Fingers and toes crossed here. I want the August one to go before 22nd, no more delays with this one please.

 

[Howellsy]

No go

 

[wayneg]

Tuesday or Wednesday now

 

[Pegasus928]

Oh no not again Next attempt could now be Wednesday

We're baffled by that - the weather looked to be improving all the time. Can't imagine what cropped up (although it's obviously better to be safe than sorry)
