The space shuttle launch scheduled for tonight at 9:20 has been canceled due to a leak in the gaseous hydrogen being vented out of the space shuttle's external fuel tank. As the liquid hydrogen propellant in the tank boils off into a gas it must be vented to equalize the pressure in the tank. Somehow the line that carries the venting gas has begun to leak.
No show for us tonight, maybe tomorrow.
