When Weather really is Rocket Science!

Hi,
Space Shuttle Discovery is set to blast off this afternoon from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Now you may ask yourself why would flight planners schedule the lift-off for a summer afternoon in Florida where it is very, very common for thunderstorms. In fact, today there is a 40-percent chance of thunderstorms that could delay or scrub the launch.

Well here is an interesting link behind the science of Rocket Science.

Have a great day and pray for the safety of the astronauts.
