Post by: joeyb747 on July 11, 2009, 07:22:11 PM
"CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — NASA canceled Saturday's launch attempt of space shuttle Endeavour on a construction mission to the International Space Station to assess possible damage from nearby lightning strikes, officials said."

"Launch was reset for 7:13 p.m. EDT on Sunday."
