Discovery Delayed Again

NASA has pulled back from an early December launch of space shuttle Discovery, and has not yet committed to a mid-December launch. Though engineers have repaired the leaks and cracked ribs in the external tank, they don't understand how the problems developed, and they don't want to commit to a launch until they do understand.

If Discovery doesn't go in December, the next possible launch window does not open until next February.
