NASA is pulling the payload out of the space shuttle Endeavour to check the
orbiter鈥檚 wiring, after a short circuit occurred during last month鈥檚 shuttle
flight. The checks will delay the next launch by about a month and also push
back the next flight of Discovery. NASA inspectors concluded that wiring aboard
Columbia frayed when it rubbed against an exposed screw. According to
spokesperson Eileen Hawkey, the inspections found other places where wires were
fraying, making delaying missions 鈥渢he prudent thing to do鈥�.
