Discovery launch delayed
As I listened to the final count down and the pre-launch check list, everything was green and go, until the weather check. The low cloud ceiling had the weather control light looking like a Christmas tree as it consistently flashed from red to green all day. In the final moments of count down the clock went on hold due to the weather violating the shuttle launch safety rules.
We were set up on Pineda Causeway in Melbourne with hopes of taking our first space shuttle night launch pictures. Looks like that will be on hold for now, NASA officials have set the next launch attempt for 8:47 p.m. EST on Dec. 9.
