For the 5th time, the Endeavour space shuttle launch (STS-127) was scrubbed due to weather yesterday (July 13, and in June due to a hydrogen leak). An attempt will be made tomorrow, July 15, at 5:03, Piggott time. Launch coverage is on NASA-TV (http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx). The shuttle will go to the International Space Station, in orbit 230 miles above the earth, to complete the Japanese KIBO laboratory.
