Atlantis Launch rescheduled till 1/2/08!

After several attempts, the NASA engineers decided to postpone the launch until at least 1/2/08.

DH and I were already off property and on our way down to Cape Canaveral when Steve got an alert on his Blackberry that the launch had been scrapped. I didn't believe him at first! : But sadly, it was true. Thery rescheduled for Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday, and finally, till January. Seems that they need to haul the shuttle off the launch pad and see what the problem is.

I am disappointed that we missed the launch, but the safety of our astronauts is first and foremost!

I'll keep you posted!

We too were down there during the scheduled launch time and were disappointed to have missed it.

I'm curious -- do remember at what time of day you got the alert? We were at KSC and waiting for the Shuttle Launch Experience attraction when they gave us the word.

It was about 12:30, 1:00. We left property at about that time and were headed to the CVS when we got the message.

I'm so sorry you were at KSC and missed the launch!
