After scrubbing the launch of the Minotaur rocket last night at T minus four minutes, NASA Twittered: "We will not attempt a launch on May 9. A new date is expected to be set sometime next week." The forecast for Wallops Island, Va., Saturday night, the last night of a launch window that opened Tuesday, is "Partly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms early in the evening." On a clear night, Minotaur should be visible through southern New England as it goes up with a tail of burning rocket fuel. Background, from earlier in the week: Va. rocket launch could be visible in R.I. on the first clear night between Tuesday and Saturday 1 CommentsLeave a comment |

I'd like to see one, glad they're waiting. Hope by then there'll be a clear night for the whole Eastern seaboard.
