Stereo Launch Date

The Launch of STEREO(the 2 nasa craft that are going to give us a 3D view of the Sun,including what's coming round the leading limb,by having 1 craft in a Earth leading orbit,&1 craft in a Earth trailing orbit.<L4&L5,i think?>)has been put back again.
It was originally planned to launch on July22nd,then it was put back to August 20th,& now it has been put back till August 31st.(2006)
I think this means first light won't happen till about October,some time.
Can't wait to see the pic's from this mission.
...Now where did i put my red & blue glasses...
...stay on target....almost there...(A New Hope 77)
PS only about 1 month or so,till MRO opens it's eyes again.
Bring THAT on!
