Shuttle打ち上げ明日に延期　雲多すぎ
Launch Scrubbed
Today's launch of Space Shuttle Discovery has been postponed for 24 hours because of weather. The new launch time will be at 3:26 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

3:42 p.m. - Scrub! Mike Leinbach, NASA Launch Director, has decided that today is not a good day to launch the shuttle and we'll try again tomorrow. The primary concern was for anvil clouds within 20 miles of the Shuttle Landing Facility. Our preferred launch time for tomorrow is 3:26 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center.
