Endeavour's Launch Once More Delayed 65

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 12, 2009 @10:34PM from the shh-they're-building-suspense dept.

schleprock63 writes "NASA has delayed the launch of Endeavour due to inclement weather, mostly lightning. According to NASA, 'Cumulus clouds and lightning violated rules for launching Endeavour because of weather near the Shuttle Landing Facility. The runway would be needed in the unlikely event that Endeavour would have to make an emergency landing back at Kennedy. Endeavour's next launch attempt is 6:51 p.m. EDT Monday. NASA TV coverage will begin at 1:30 p.m.'"

I've seen it before, the Endeavour can land even in an unused riverbed in LA! Just have to have the right pilots...

What's NASA's record for successful first tries? Does Mission Control have to buy the crew a beer when they get back if the shot goes up on the first attempt?

Since nobody will have to be flying tonight, I recommend tang with vodka: the "Buzzed Aldrin"...

>Tang is the Mandarin word for "sugar."
It's also the English word for "piss".

They should have called it Ennever.
