More problems at NASA

Why can't things go right for NASA...any ideas anyone? It just seems to be one thing after another.

That doesn't sound good at all... Pity, I hate it when it doesn't work out for space agencies...

its was a fuel glitch, and hopefully it will lift off in 24hrs.

You do know that damn near every rocket that lifts-off has delays right? wether it be technical or old mother nature.

I am interested in the source you used to research and compare launches with scrubbed launches to reach that conclusion. It would be interesting reading. Pleae let me know where I can find it.

Thanks

Launches get scrubbed quite often due to technical problems and/or weather.

I realize this, however, when a comment is made like

'You do know that damn near every rocket that lifts-off has delays right? wether it be technical or old mother nature. '

I would like some reading material that backs up that almost EVERY launch is delayed. Thats all.

Thanks

What kind of dumb-ass response is that.?

I didn't get that 'knowledge' from some source, I got it because I keep my eye on a lot of launches.

Its practically common knowledge.

I've lived in Melbourne, FL for a couple years now...work at the KSC for a while now...I can tell you from experience launches do get delayed often, mostly due to weather.

Apparently you didnt get knowledge from anywhere knuckle-head. I asked for figures or facts or percentages and you call ME dumb...the only dumb a-- here is the moron who can't provide facts to back up a simply stupid statement like

"You do know that damn near every rocket that lifts-off has delays right? wether it be technical or old mother nature"

No I don't know damned near every launch is delayed there billy-bob..thats why I was asking for PROOF not just your word that damned near every launch is delayed. I guess through my observations I could say that "damned near everyone on this board named Murcielago is a worthless anger-monger..no I don't have to provide ANY proof for you to believe me, all I have to do is say...it's all from my observations of this site! There it is gospel and you must believe me...don't bother asking for my proof...cause I don't need any by your standards.
