Here' an article by Keith Cowing.

I wonder about 2 things:
Why not launch in the dark anyway? After all, foam will fall by day or by night and there is no way to stop the Shutttle on its way to space and there are inspections expected once in orbit...

Is Florida still the only spaceport for the manned US space program? The Russians have practically never had weather problems with their launcher and it can be snowing, foggy, freezing cold and they still launch...Can the new CEV launcher also be built taking into account what the weather could be?
