NASA via BBSNews - 2005-08-08 - Due to low clouds at the Kennedy Space Center landing site, Mission Control Houston has waved off the first landing opportunity for Space Shuttle Discovery today until tomorrow. STS-114 Commander Eileen Collins and the rest of the crew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery are working through backing out their landing checklist.

Mission Specialist Steve Robinson, on his last day in space, offered a glimpse of his experience on a historic spacewalk and other mission events during the first podcast delivered from orbit.
