Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 NASA Calls Off Launch of Shuttle Discovery CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A faulty fuel gauge on Discovery's external tank forced NASA to call off Wednesday's launch of the first shuttle flight since the Columbia disaster 2 1/2 years ago. The space agency did not immediately set a new launch date. The decision came with less than 2 1/2 hours left in the countdown, as the seven astronauts were almost done boarding the spacecraft. Up until then, rain and thunder over the launch site appeared to be the only obstacle to an on-time liftoff. our prayers have been answered.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Please make a note that Mercury is retrograde from around 7/22/05 to 8/15/05. When I first learned about Mercury retrograde around 30 years ago, from time to time I could feel it occuring and watch it do it's (dis)magic, though I wasn't exactly an astrology affectionado back then. I'd check to see if Mercury actually was retrograde and nearly always was. As I began to pay more attention to it, though casually, over the years I saw it reflected in NASA and other space concerns and noticed some of the biggest guffaws occured during Mercury retrogrades, including that woodpecker debace during the scheduled launch that delayed it many years ago as well as the launch of Hubble. I'd be interested to find out if the mirror launched at that time, one that had to be adjusted by astronauts on subsequent flights, may also have been designed, manufactured and/or confirmed for use during a Mercury retrograde. Does anyone have a listing of, at least NASA, and perhaps other space mishaps and confusions that have occured during Mercury retrogrades? By the way, is anyone prepared to present their Vedic Astrological skills on Talk Radio? I'm a publicist, I may be able to help you.
