NASA Scrubs Launch Due to Faulty Fuel-Tank Sensor

Posted by timothy on from the safe-than-sorry dept.

VUSE g-EE-k writes "NASA has scrubbed Wednesday's launch of Discovery due to a faulty fuel-tank sensor in the external fuel tank. They are going to begin the troubleshooting process. They have not released details as to how long this delay will last. The crew have begun to get off the shuttle. For more information, see the NASA TV site. Drudge Report has some initial coverage of the scrub." Reader adefa adds a link to NASA's Space Shuttle launch page with more info.

    Jeez- this was the slowest space news I've ever seen from Slashdot. I mean, I've been watching all day, and I heard about this MINUTES ago. Geez, who screwed the pooch this time? NASA updated their webpage before /.! NASA!

    Karma Whores, do your worst. This is on-topic so whatever.
