Launch delayed for shuttle carrying Davidson alum

Posted on 13 June 2009.

NASA early this morning delayed today’s launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour, because of a gas leak. The mission, whose crew includes Dr. Tom Marshburn, a 1982 Davidson grad, is on hold for at least 96 hours. See our Friday profile of Dr. Marshburn.
