CBS News Correspondent Peter King From Kennedy Space
Center
The space shuttle Discovery is poised on the pad for a scheduled
Saturday afternoon launch and so far, NASA officials say there are
no major problems that might get in the way... except for one.
As Aero-News reported earlier this
week, the forecast for Saturday -- in fact, all
weekend -- calls for storms over Cape Canaveral... and those clouds
may keep Discovery on the ground for a few days longer.
Peter King covers the Kennedy Space Center for CBS News Radio...
and in today's chat with ANN Senior Editor Pete Combs, King says
those clouds are already building. But that's not the only issue
looming over Discovery's launch... Peter says the foam delamination
issue still hangs over NASA, as well.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
