After being
rolled out to its launch pad at
Kennedy at the beginning of the month,
Discovery was
ignominiously rolled back to the
Vehicle Assembly Building at the beginning of last week to have its
external tank swapped with the one intended for the next
Atlantis flight. However
NASA continues their painfully slow progress towards
return to flight as today the shuttle was
returned to the pad. NASA now expects to launch Discovery between the 13th and 31st of July...

The work to secure Space Shuttle Discovery is under way at Launch Pad 39B following its move from the Vehicle Assembly Building.Update: The BBC has
more about NASA's
return to flight...
Update: The International Herald Tribune has a
piece that pretty much sums up everything that is going wrong for NASA and the Space Shuttle, and right for people like Burt Rutan and
SpaceShipOne.
