Lift Off Delayed, Again

Space shuttle, Discovery's take off has been delayed again. This time its due to hydrogen gas fuel values. The engineers of the shuttle want to make sure they are all secure, due to the fact that on a shuttle launched on November one of these values broke. NASA says that Discovery wont lift off before February 22. Engineers have to make sure that everything is in its place, as to the fact that it a value brakes it could damage part of the space shuttle. The shuttles mission is the deliver the last set of solar wings to the international space station.

I think postponing the take off was a very good idea. If anything happened to one of the values, the whole mission could possible be a failure.
