     I haven't seen this posted yet, so here's some info for any who 
     haven't heard.
     
     The launch of seven Iridiums, scheduled yesterday, from the Baykonur 
     Cosmodrome by a Proton booster rocket has been delayed for 24 hours 
     until 0235 UT Friday [Thursday evening U.S. time].
     
     The delay was caused by "low resistance in launch pad cables." The 
     cables have been replaced and all is said "ready to go."
