Discovery Delayed

The launch of space shuttle Discovery missed today because of a glitch in the backup computer for the main engines. Now, the Thursday attempt may be in jeopardy. Engineers are still looking at the computer problem, but the Florida weather might be an issue, as it has often been during the run of the shuttle program.

If Discovery cannot launch by November 7, it will have to wait for the next launch window, which opens December 1.
