The launch of space shuttle Endeavour on STS-127 was delayed Saturday when a hydrogen leak was found during fueling of the external tank.
The delay will be at least four days. Four days, however, will bring the shuttle into conflict with the launches of two unmanned lunar probes. If Endeavour doesn't get the nod over the probes, the shuttle mission will be delayed at least into July. Of course, such a delay wouldn't be good news for NASA, which is charged with winding up the shuttle program next year.
