NASA Finds Cracks in Space Shuttle’s Tank Supports, AFP Reports

The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration said four more small cracks have been found in the metal supports of the space shuttle Discovery’s external fuel tank, Agence France-Presse reported.
The shuttle’s final mission, originally scheduled for Nov. 5, has been postponed several times because of such cracks and necessary repairs; repairing the latest ones is likely to take two or three days, the news agency said.
It’s too early to say whether the mission, now planned for February, will be delayed again, AFP cited NASA as saying.
