Here we go again! An errant data relay system that communicates between the shuttle and mission control has delayed the launch yet another time. Launch is now scheduled for 1000 EST tomorrow morning to 1200 EST, the end of the launch window. There is a ``strong possibility'' of another scrub. After technicians fixed a leak in the external tank, they discovered the error in the computers. A new part was flown in from Houston, only to uncover another problem! Another new part was taken off the Challenger (at the West Coast) and flown to NASA. It arrived at 2100 EST and was to be put in and tested overnight.
