            ...well they're off being safe than sorry. After the Columnbia spacecraft crash 2.5 years NASA definitely wants to make sure everything goes as planned. Does anyone how long this delay is going to be; hours or even days?

                    Our space program is total joke; Boy Scouts launching model rockets is more impressive. Dump the shuttle program, moth ball the fleet and let private industry take over.

                      After reading the NYT, it looks like that the earliest it launch will be is this Saturday...but that's if everything goes to plan. At least they caught the error before they went up into space

                              I heard from MSNBC that it might be Monday - depending on the complexity of overcoming the failure...they might have to get the shuttle back to the assembly building if worse comes to worse.
