NASA managers said today that space shuttle Discovery won't fly until Nov. 30th at the earliest.
The shuttle team won't be able to repair the hydrogen gas leak in time to make a Monday launch attempt, the last-day of an eight-day launch window.
The next earliest launch attempt would be at 4:05 a.m. Nov. 30, the opening of a window of night launches that extends through Dec. 6.
Kennedy Space Center launch teams have been draining the shuttle's external tank of propellant since a significant leak of hydrogen gas was detected at a line that vents the gas from the tank to a flare stack.
The leak was detected as the countdown proceeded during today's scrubbed launch attempt.

Antagonist has a behavior that is very symptomatic of a pseron with Aspberger's syndrome. ...and I'm not trying to be sarcastic or joke when I say that. I
