Another Leak Delays Final Discovery Launch

Posted by timothy on from the find-the-leak-and-plug-it dept.

vsolepr writes "Today's scheduled launch was scrubbed because of a gaseous hydrogen leak near the spacecraft's external tank. This is the fourth time in the past week that Discovery's launch was delayed due to various leaks and electrical issues. NASA now is aiming for a launch date no earlier than Nov. 30."

    Have you ever seen a shuttle launch. It lights up the sky from 90 miles away. It is kind of impressive what humans kind can do when they are not fighting against each other.

    Have you ever seen a nuke go off? That lights up the sky impressively too.
