Endeavour space shuttle launch moved to Monday

The launching of space shuttle Endeavour has been postponed to Monday due to low clouds.  Launch director Mike Leinbach told the six astronauts on board the shuttle that launching it last night just did not feel right.

Hoping that weather conditions will be better on Monday, Commander George Zamka said they will try again.  The astronauts went out of the shuttle an hour later.

The launch has been rescheduled to Monday, Feb. 8 at 4:14 AM.  The new schedule means the launch team will miss the Super Bowl.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said there are only five shuttle missions remaining.

“You’re going to have to figure out what else you’re going to do, along with us,” Bolden told journalists.
