1) Because there is no "space shuttel atlantas"....It's actually Space Shuttle Atlantis.
2) I heard that it was due to the hurricane that is on track to hit Florida within the next couple of days.

1. Huricane Earnesto Approaching
2. It got hit by lightning while in launch position and was in the process of being checked over - which caused the original delay.
The huricane approaching is the icing on the cake. So it's going back in its hanger and then rolled out again after the hurricane, which will be at least a week.

Due to the wind changes in the atmosphere due to the hurricane that is coming in and also they do not know if they would have time to prepare totally for the launch before the Ernesto struck and they may have to take the WHOLE lauch station into an under cover building
