Space Shuttle launch attempt set for Saturday

Stymied once this week because of clouds, NASA is skipping a Friday launch attempt for space shuttle Discovery.

This article continues explaining that the cost for NASA, every time a Space Shuttle launch is skipped, is $ 500,000. But obviously they have enough money, and they keep delaying and postponing. Imagine that this was a regular form of, expensive, public transport. (They are planning a moon base) and there is no way to tell when the space shuttle will arive.

I for one would not be happy. I hate it when I have to wait for a bus, and here they say, lets wait a couple of days longer. The weather is not really improving, but well, you never know.

Yes, there are some clouds, making it difficult to see where the Space Shuttle is going, but by now they should know: it is going to the International Space Station, wasting more money. I mean, what difference does it make that you can't follow the shuttle visually. They have computers, radars, very smart radio communications, and all of that is not able to stop disaster if it strikes. Just hope the best for it, and get on with your job.

(Further delaying this flight might even destroy the holidays for the austronauts. And that is not funny for their families).

Don't forget to buy a "I love Jenifer"t-shirt, or something else from my shop. It's almost Christmas, and you would not want to end up celebrating that without me, would you?

What ever you do, don't forget to love a soldier. Love, Jenifer. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
