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).
