From: Werner Uhrig <CMP.WERNER@R20.UTEXAS.EDU> From TV-news coverage, I have the impression as if there might not have been adequate attention paid to icing which is supposed to have occurred this morning on the launch-pad. My understanding was that the shuttle launch was delayed for more than an hour due to the icing. Since they delayed the launch specifically because of the weather, I strongly doubt that they would have delayed it for too short a period (if they are going to be yelled at by the media for being overly cautious, then they might as well delay for the full required time).
