All Amtrak trains are running behind schedule. Which, I guess, is regular!

The lower stage appears to be one of shuttle's solid rocket boosters. Four first-stage, solid-fuel booster segments are derived from the Space Shuttle Program. A simulated fifth booster segment contains Atlas-V-based avionics, and the rocket's roll control system comes from the Peacekeeper missile. The launch abort system, simulated crew and service modules, upper stage, and various connecting structures all are original. |

NASA officials said another attempt to launch the rocket would be made Wednesday 28Oct at 8 a.m. when weather conditions are expected to be at a 40 percent "no-go" level, compared with Tuesday's 60 percent "no-go" forecast.

In terms of your basic no-go forecasted scenario as we move forward on this issue, the outlook is uncertain.
