NASA - Delaying Shuttle Launch Till June 8

Following the damage on the insulating foam on the external fuel tank damage during a freak hailstorm in February that left over 2600 divots, NASA will delay the launch of space shuttle Atlantis at least until June 8 so that its hail-damaged fuel tank can be repaired. Some can be repaired simply by sanding the area and others can be filled by pouring liquid foam into the dents.
