Shuttle launch scrubbed

[DisneyChik17]

CNN just said the shuttle launch has been scrubbed. Discovery has a fualty fuel tank sensor. It is a redundent sensor that tells when the tanks get low on fuel. Hopefully, everything will get right and it will happen again.

I was there and I had a great spot! Hmph!

Oh well. They say they may reschedule for Saturday or Monday. I'm seriously hoping Monday, as I'll be off work again.

No offense to you sillyspook, but I'm hoping it is on Saturday. I'll be at WDW that day. I've seen a shuttle launch from my house 200 miles south of Cape Canaveral and it looks amazing from so far away, but never one while at WDW before.

We saw one from WDW, it was so cool. We watched the initial luanch on TV and then went outside and there it was, a big stream of smoke with a little shuttle right on top. I will never forget that.

I'd like to avoid calling in at work at all possible costs......

I was hoping it would scrub today (for purely selfish reasons). I want it to go up next week while I'm in FLA.

Space shuttle kicks butt!!!!!!!!!!

They have these options:

Saturday, Monday, or July 31. If not any of those, then they've got to wait until Septemeber, which is the next time the ISS will be in correct orbit.

Oddly enough one of the best cheap places to watch a launch from is a Walgreens parking lot. The store has displays dedicated to launch viewing, including sunblock, chairs, tents, umbrellas, radios and NASA souvenirs.

It's now scheduled for ext week. I guess they will have fixed the problem/fixed the problem by then!

 

[sillyspook13]

Not officially. NASA officials are saying as early as late next week if they're extremely lucky. The official schedule says TBD.

I hope it is soon. I still remember seing the Columbia (R.I.P.) launch from the boardwalk.
