Shuttle Endeavours to Persevere (http://www.voanews.com/english/2009-07-13-voa36.cfm)
Supposed to go at 6:51pm tonite. Countdown clock (http://www.nasa.gov/topics/shuttle_station/index.html)
NASA officials called off the last attempt late Sunday, only minutes before they had hoped to send the shuttle on its way to the International Space Station. A series of lightning strikes near the launch pad forced officials to delay the launch attempt on Saturday.
Endeavour is running a month behind schedule, due to a hydrogen leak on the launch pad. NASA officials say they have fixed that problem in the shuttle's external fuel tanks.
