Shuttle launch delayed...

US space agency Nasa is preparing for a fresh attempt at launching the space shuttle Discovery, after being forced to abandon Saturday's planned lift-off.
The Florida launch has been scheduled for 1526 EDT (1926 GMT) on Sunday.

Poor weather near Cape Canaveral forced Nasa to scrub Saturday's launch at the last minute.

Hasn't it been delayed three times now? Twice weather and today they noticed another heat tile 'malfunction'.

If this launch is ever compromised - NASA will never recover (and just when Kasakstan is expanding its launch site/space programme wishes) uumm.
