The launch of the space shuttle Discovery has been postponed for the second consecutive day. Forced by bad weather, NASA has set the next launching for Tuesday. The seven crew members boarded the spaceship for a lift-off this Saturday. But, just minutes after the decision of canceling the lift-off came following the bad weather.
Following thunderclouds that menaced the Kennedy Space Centre, NASA forecasters had estimated only a 30 per cent chance for the weather to be favorable for the launch. And this forecast is made just hours before the scheduled launching time.
