Contrary to all earlier reports of on pad processing going well, NASA delayed STS-114 two months to July, the next launch window. It took them 2 years and 8 months after Challenger, and now we are close to that number. Will they ever leave the ground? I understand they are very careful, but their will ALWAYS risk. Will we ever leave LEO again (manned) with this attitude?

STS-114 launch delayed two months due to icing problems on fuel lines and other technical issues. Next launch window opens mid July.
Griffin also announced that preparatory work on a Hubble servicing mission will begin. (source NASA Press conference, April 29) -------------------- |

Thats not correct, the first 2 launches are to be in daylight to see what the debris shedding is like, ice will form on the O2 pipes in summer or winter (they are going to try heaters on them to prevent this.) |
