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."

    Actually, chalk one up to the engineers who designed the plane so that people could get out twice as fast enough, considering only half the exits worked. ;)

    Realistically, in most of the major crashes, quite a few extra "exits" are created by the crash.

    I don't see how this is off-topic at all. Off-COLOR maybe, but not off-topic.
