JustGav Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Bad weather? Looking at the Nasa TV it looks like perfect blue skies! Guess there could be high wind at altitude, but you would have thought if you were doing 17,000 mph it wouldn't matter if there was a 50 - 60 mph gusts! Crosswinds were a contributing factor to Challenger... also they don't do 17000 in atmospheric conditions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Do you think they get put up in a hotel as their flight has been delayed for quite a while? Or get some form of compensation? At least the relaunch tonight is at a more sociable hour. May stay up and watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
