*The landing of the shuttle Discovery at the Kennedy Space Center has been delayed for at least a day due to bad weather in Florida.*
Thunderstorms and strong winds meant that the US space agency NASA skipped both Thursday landing possibilities. The shuttle, which is returning from a mission to the International Space Station (ISS), will have to orbit the earth for a 14th day. The new landing slot is at 1754 (2154 GMT) on Friday. However the weather forecast for Friday is worse, and Saturday is only a little better. NASA says if necessary it will consider the possibility of using a runway at Edwards Air Force Base in California. _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
