Electrical Problem Pushes Back Endeavour Launch

Posted by timothy on from the use-the-big-outlet dept.

oxide7 writes "The final launch of the space shuttle Endeavour hit yet another snag as engineers battle to resolve an electrical problem that scuttled Friday's launch attempt." The upshot, for anyone who wants to watch the lift-off in real time, is that the next likely launch window is toward the end of the week.

    I would rather that they fix the problem than have the flight on time anyway due to managerial intransigence and bloody-minded thinking that led to launching in freezing weather and "it's just foam, how bad can it be?"
