You just know NASA's really got their shit together when they firm up a launch date bay saying
"late next week." Yeah, that sound diffinitive.
The first space shuttle launch since the 2003 Columbia disaster will not take place until late next week at the earliest, NASA spokesman Mike Rein said Friday.
NASA previously had said the shuttle Discovery could lift off as soon as Sunday, although it was unlikely.
The launch originally was scheduled for Wednesday, but it was scrubbed 2 1/2 hours before liftoff because of a faulty fuel sensor.
The space agency has until July 31 to attempt a launch or must wait until September.
Light that sucker already.
