KSC Closed....... Temporarily

A break in a huge water pipe has closed the Kennedy Space Center to everyone except essential personnel, at least for today.

Space shuttle Discovery was to be moved from its hangar to the Vehicle Assembly Building today, where it will be mated to an external tank and solid rocket boosters in preparation for its final flight, currently still scheduled for November 1. The VAB is near the water pipe break, however, so Discovery's move was delayed until tomorrow morning.
