NASA's Present To Me Postponed
Blah Blah, "Safety Reasons," WhateverAt 2:51 PM Marchron World HQ Time, the Space Shuttle Discovery was set to blast off, the first shuttle mission since the breakup of Columbia in February 2003.
It was postponed, at least until Monday, because of a faulty fuel sensor.
Sigh.
Safety is and has always been the utmost concern, but damn, that would have been a cool birthday present.
I'll consider it a belated birthday present now.
SciGuy was liveblogging the launch sequence today, and I imagine he will do so whenever Discovery actually lifts off. Here's the lowdown on why today's launch was postponed.
And BlondeChampagne has a deep love for all things NASA.
