Not happening Monday. Looks like the earliest will be the 8th. Astros are on their way back to Houston.

The next-to-last space shuttle flight has been delayed again, this time to at least the middle of May for extra electrical tests.
Mission managers decided Friday that shuttle Endeavour would blast off no earlier than May 16.
NASA spokeswoman Candrea Thomas said testing will be conducted throughout the weekend to find out if the circuitry problem was in the old box or somewhere in the external wiring that's still in the shuttle.

Sorry Andrew. I'll try it correctly next time. :gomer:

Beautiful though. Maybe because it's more poignant this time. But just beautiful.

They wouldn't waste so much fuel if they'd just fly in a straight line.
