Endeavour Launch Rescheduled

Posted by michael on from the running-late dept.

PyroMosh writes: "Well, NASA scrubbed yesterday's launch of STS-108 after the Russians broke the space station. It's been rescheduled for tonight 7:18 PM EST (0018 GMT). As was noted in yesterday's story, there will be all kinds of frightening new security in place to assure the saftey of Endeavour, her crew, and her mission in these troubled times."

    1. Based on a fuzzy video of the docking, flight controllers suspect a 1-foot cable -- or something else entirely -- is preventing the ship from latching on. But no one seemed to know where the cable came from.
    Well, at least they are on top of things!

    It seems like the article posts are getting more misleading all the time. The article clearly states that a bit of debris, maybe a 1 foot cable, interfered with the docking of an unmanned supply ship.

    Nobody broke nothin' 'cause nothin's broke!
