Sussex astronaut Piers Sellers saw his historic flight to the international space station delayed again today.
Piers, 47, originally from Crowborough, will be the third Briton in space when the shuttle mission finally goes ahead.
But he will now have to wait until at least Monday as Nasa officials track the progress of Hurricane Lili, which could threaten mission control in Houston, Texas.
Piers is preparing to join five other astronauts on the 11-day Nasa mission to the space station.
