Delay Pushes Mercury Flight to February Thirteen
Cape Canaveral reports another postponement of John Glenn's orbital flight as Atlas booster trouble and fuel-oxygen insulation leaks force the delay. Project Mercury officials cite weather and technical issues, with a five day lag echoed from Ranger III delays and a tighten launch window. Glenn's flight had been set for January twenty third but was postponed after capsule troubles and cloudy skies near the test site.
