Shuttle Delayed Due to Cloudy Skies

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pins-and-needles dept.

PunkOfLinux writes "The shuttle won't be coming down until Tuesday, due to a decision by NASA that the weather was not good enough for re-entry. After the first two attempts, at around 4:45 and 6:25 this morning, NASA called off today's landing."

    I hear they don't mind you landing in bad weather north of the border.

      There's a saying in the airplane industry expressing that idea:

      Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

      And the second half of the saying is: "and if the 'plane can be used again, it was a GREAT landing."
