Rain and low clouds around Cape Kennedy tonight may delay the landing of space shuttle Endeavour, or shift the landing to Edwards Air Force Base. The weather in California, however, may also be a problem.
Such problems have plagued the shuttle program throughout its run. The next phase of manned spaceflight will be capsule-based, so weather concerns about coming home will likely change to concerns about recovery teams being able to reach the capsule quickly after it reaches the surface, either in water or on land.
