NASA delays launch of space shuttle

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - NASA has delayed Sunday's planned launch of the space shuttle Atlantis for 24 hours, the U.S. space agency said on Saturday.
No immediate reason was given for the postponement. The delay would give engineers more time to ensure that a lightning bolt that struck the Atlantis launch pad on Friday caused no damage to the shuttle or ground support equipment.
