Currently mission STS-130 is scheduled to take off on Monday morning Israel time
The space shuttle Endeavor was not launched to the space station this morning. A few minutes before the launch scheduled for 11:43 an order was received to cancel the launch, due to severe weather over the Kennedy Space Center. The clouds that have accumulated there will make it difficult to watch the launch and this is a safety risk.
The launch is the last night launch, and the fifth before the end of the shuttle project. At the Kennedy Space Center, they are not particularly celebrating, after the White House announced the cancellation of the Constellation project in the 2011 budget proposal. Even so, thousands of workers employed in the space program were supposed to lose their jobs at NASA and at the subcontractors, but now about 7,000 workers in Florida and many thousands more across the US do not see any future in the space program, and no demand for the professions for which they were trained.

Anonymous - Do you expect that 1000 civil companies will suddenly be formed because some people are unemployed?
Those employees who will be fired from NASA will be able to integrate into the civilian space industry. NASA itself claimed that the future is the civilian industry that does not depend on government budgets and the wishes of politicians.
Obama will die
With NASA being shut down, who can trust the Chinese?!?!?!?
