Man, why didn’t I think of this. Of course the Space Shuttle didn’t launch the first day, and it probably won’t for a couple days more.
Do you know how many tourists have come to see this Shuttle launch? Do you know how much tax money my county is making off of them?
Each scrubbed launch means another day the tourists will be here. So, I bet there will be a few more faked attempts at launching the Shuttle to get mo’ money.
Simple economics, people.

Brilliant! But you can’t push it off too long otherwise the window closes and everyone goes home pissed.
Anything that keeps folks from clogging the roads in Osceola county is ok in my book. How much do you want to keep those folks in your county for a while?
It’s all an eeeevil conspiracy by Chimpy McBushitler and his pals at Halliburton.
BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
I’ll be in Titusville on Saturday cause that’s the day it will launch. Guaranteed!
C’mon up Frank n Sarah! I’ll be at the Kmart parking lot off SR50!

Wellp,
Given that Michelin problems aborted the US Grand Prix at Indiannapolis, perhaps we should look into whether there are any Michelin parts on the shuttle. I mean… like, you know… it’s a French company often used by Chiraq to embarass the US. Honest. Would I make this stuff up?
I wonder if Frank J. is renting out his place to the tourists, or did Denise leave a few Hotel 6 standing?
