Cape Canaveral (US), Nov 12: Space shuttle Discovery has been moved to the launch pad to await a launch that could be as early as December 7 - an effort to avoid potential New Year’s Eve computer glitches.
The worry is that shuttle computers are not designed to make the change from the 365th day of the old year to the first day of the New Year while in flight. NASA has never had a shuttle in space December 31 or January 1.
