new delay/possible scrub
Now that I have finished punching the wall, I finally
typed this in!

Here we go again!  An errant data relay system that
communicates between the shuttle and mission control
has delayed the launch yet another time.  Launch is
now scheduled for 1000 EST tomorrow morning to 1200 EST,
the end of the launch window.  There is a ``strong possibility''
of another scrub.  After technicians fixed a leak in
the external tank, they discovered the error in the
computers.  A new part was flown in from Houston, only
to uncover another problem!  Another new part was taken
off the Challenger (at the West Coast) and flown to NASA.
It arrived at 2100 EST and was to be put in and tested
overnight.
