From a news story on the internet: “CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Thunderstorms once again forced NASA to call off the launch of space shuttle Endeavour on Monday, the fifth delay for the space station construction mission. NASA said it would try again Wednesday, after taking a one-day break. In a scene nearly identical to Sunday, launch managers halted the countdown just minutes before Endeavour and seven astronauts were supposed to blast off in the early evening. This time, storms packed with lightning popped up on opposite sides of the launching site, one after the other, close enough to violate NASA's safety rules. Endeavour has been grounded for an entire month now, first by leaks, then stormy weather. This was the third day in a row that thunderstorms prevented Endeavour from blasting off with the final piece of Japan's space station lab.”Ok, now…. If mankind is to go into outer space some day, he must solve little problems like inconvenient thunderstorms. Even Ann Coulter would agree with me. Please.
