U.S.: Obvious: Space shuttle launch delayed by some weather problem

  • So, why do we launch space shuttles out of Florida, anyway? NASA’s Shuttle program may be coming to a close in the near future, but while they’re still happening, they’re keeping up a common trend – a delayed launch. With just 40% of launches happening on time, it’s more common for a ship to be delayed by weather than not. And Florida kinda has a lot of it. Anyway, the Endeavor was delayed again this morning. By what, you say? Clouds. source
