And again: 2 July 06: Bad weather at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida has delayed the launch of Discovery. The next launch attempt is on Tuesday, July 4, at 2:38 p.m. EDT.
On the bright side, all the astronauts can now don their spacesuits really fast.
Your editor recalls that in the 1950s there was a debate over whether to launch manned rockets from Vandenberg AFB, which had its last thunderstorm in the Pliocene era. As usual with our eastward-tilting national government, hotter heads prevailed. One wonders what they will do when global warming causes the whole Kennedy Space Center to sink beneath the waves (click the map). ;-)
