Hopes of a liftoff before the Atlantis’s launching window closes late next week had been rekindled after Hurricane Ernesto lost intensity on its approach to Florida. “We had no damage,” Bruce Buckingham, a Kennedy Space Center spokesman, said after the hurricane left the Atlantic Coast of Florida and headed north. “Zero. Nada.” Launching pad technicians have begun reattaching equipment needed to prepare the shuttle.
