Electrical Problem Pushes Back Endeavour Launch 30

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.

    Go figure, its hard and expensive enough to keep a same year Buick running too. This thing is going to exceed 1bil before its done, great for a ribbon cutting and generic middle school "experiments". And where is my alternative energy? Thats right! It got what percentage of JUST THIS FLIGHTS budget? All for a science themed variety show ... in space

    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?"
