Did A Giant Spider Attack Delay the Launch Of Space Shuttle Atlantis?
I had to share this video with you from NASA. It looks like something out of a Godzilla type movie where a giant insect or monster attacks a tall structure. In this case, the space shuttle Atlantis was attacked by a giant spider recently while awaiting launch. At least, that's how it looked on camera. A spider walked across the camera lens and seems to eat the shuttle. Atlantis will not launch until the new year. A fuel tank glitch forced mission controllers to delay the launch. It doesn't appear the "spider attack" caused any major problems.
