Live at Cape: Delta IV liftoff reset for 6:44 p.m.

Today's launch of a weather satellite atop a Delta IV rocket has been reset for 6:44 p.m. from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

If that isn't possible, managers would shoot for the very end of the hour-long launch window, at 7:14 p.m.

The launch had been targeted for 6:14 p.m., but a thunderstorm passing near Launch Complex 37 has violated a number of weather rules, including lightning and clouds that are too close.

just posted my suggestion #5 for the Human Space Flight Plans Committee and NASA:

"don't throw away the Shuttle's technology and know-how"
