The highly anticipated launch of NASA’s $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope has been delayed yet again.
The massive telescope is now set to take off on Christmas Day, December 25, with a launch window between 7:20AM ET and 7:52AM ET - the previous date was December 24.
Live coverage will be shown on NASA's TV channel and website beginning Saturday at 6AM ET.

There are 8 launch dates until mid-Jan I think.
What's the reason for the latest delay?

High winds at Europe’s Spaceport on French Guiana is to blame for the current delay but there is also a reported intermittent communication problem.

Great liftoff - I saw it on ABC 24.
The word nominal has no meaning I can find in terms of rockets:

What do they mean?
