Crap - I gather the bits falling off caused the scrub?

CNN says it's due to "a faulty fuel sensor." I hope they can launch tomorrow instead.

CNN says it was a faulty sensor that detects whether the external fuel tank is attached. Considering the recent press, the bits falling off could also be a factor but the sensor is the official reason.

Nope. A fuel sensor malfunctioned. One of a set of four. They require two of these to function, but they don't want to start the mission unless they're all functioning.
