Nasa shuttle launch delayed again

Nasa has again been forced to delay the launch of the US space shuttle Endeavour due to poor weather conditions, 24 hours after a lightning storm forced a postponement.

Experts said they found no damage to the shuttle or electrical systems after lightning struck 11 times near the launch pad at Cape Canaveral on Friday.

Two previous launch attempts in June were scrapped because of a potentially hazardous leak in a hydrogen vent line.
