Xenon lights illuminate Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, on August 24, 2009 (Pacific Time). Gary Rothstein / EPA PHOTOS OF THE DAY... The launch of space shuttle Discovery was scrubbed for the second straight day, but oh well. When was the last time a shuttle launched on time? Um... 2007? Anyways, these three photos were taken during Discovery’s previous liftoff attempt yesterday. Meteorologists at NASA's Kennedy Space Center predicted an 80% chance of acceptable launch weather conditions for last night. ... Needless to say, those meteorologists need a deduction in pay. That is all. Xenon lights illuminate Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, on August 24, 2009 (Pacific Time).
