Factors influencing the Space Shuttle schedule for the rest of the year
To include:
"Bottom line: If Atlantis still is on the ground Dec. 14, its launch would be delayed until around Jan. 7. NASA would avoid flying during the New Year's holiday because the shuttle's computers are not designed to handle the year-end rollover." [emphasis added]
I don't have enough tears for the pain this statement causes me.
