Antares launch postponed due to weather, crowds, will try again Sunday.


   Orbital Sciences Corporation had to scrub the second launch attempt of their new Antares expendable launch vehicle due to unacceptable winds aloft, and people being too close to the areas where the vehicle could come down in pieces if there were to be a range safety destruct command and the vehicle exploded on command as it should. So, they will try again tomorrow, and hopefully the weather and crowds will cooperate then, as was not the case today.
