NASA delays Nov. shuttle launch for test flight

NASA is delaying its November space shuttle launch by four days to provide more breathing room for a test flight of its new rocket. Atlantis was supposed to lift off Nov. 12. Now launch is targeted for Nov. 16. NASA said Monday the delay will make it easier to get the experimental Ares rocket flying next week. The Ares I-X is supposed to blast off Oct. 27 on a brief suborbital flight. NASA will move the rocket to the pad Tuesday morning. More
