Shuttle Launch Scrubbed | NPR. "NASA called off the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery Wednesday because of a faulty fuel-tank sensor. The mission was supposed to be the first for a shuttle since Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry in February 2003. NASA did not immediately set a new launch date." I was all excited to see the launch and then they scrub it. Oh well hopefully tomorrow they can try again.
