*** Boeing rocket fails to launch --'''':<

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - The launch countdown went all the way
down to zero, but Boeing's new Delta III rocket never lifted off.
The rocket remained on the pad after failing to ignite late
Thursday. It was the fourth time in two weeks that Boeing tried
to launch the rocket with an Orion broadcasting satellite.
"3-2-1, zero. Plus-1. Plus-2. And we had a hang fire or a
misfire," the launch commentator announced. Neither the core
stage of the rocket nor the strap-on boosters fired. The company
will try again early next week. The Delta III is key to Boeing's
plan to grab more of the launch market. The rocket is designed to
carry twice as much payload as the smaller Delta II. See
