A fast moving thunderstorm forced NASA to postpone until tomorrow
the launch of the Discovery.  Hoping the storm would clear in time
for today's launch, the countdown was advanced to the five minute
mark, but the clouds didn't go away (the did dissapate, ironically,
twenty minutes after the scrub).  The launch window for today was
only 34 minutes long.  The new launch time is 0757 EDT tomorrow
(Sunday).
