CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA will try again to launch the shuttle Discovery to the international space station on Wednesday after having to call it off early Tuesday because of thunderstorms.
The storms popped up unexpectedly late Monday all around the launch site, and lightning lit up the sky. A strike was reported just five miles from the pad, and then it started to pour. The storms finally eased, but not fast enough.
Forecasters put the odds of good launching weather Wednesday at 70 percent. Launch is scheduled for 1:10 a.m.
