I know that the cabin overpressure relief valve was an issue, but was it that the work on the valve and other needed work could not be done in parallel? Understand that this is in no way criticism, if they need more time, I am glad they can take it. I am interested in the technical part of why. John

They wanted to run a full pressure test of the crew compartment and SpaceHab together (instead of just the crew compartment) and that would have interfered with countdown activities. That test was successfully accomplished yesterday. In other news, Endeavour's valve was found to have debris in it, causing the leak. A Wednesday launch will still be 24 hours sooner than the schedule at the time Atlantis landed in June (which was August 9). Brian
