BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) It feels like déjà vu. NASA s launch of the KiNET-X sounding rocket is now set for Wednesday after being delayed another night.
The launch is set to happen at 8:06 p.m. from NASA s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. It was originally supposed to happen on Friday, but has been delayed five nights in a row because of weather conditions.
NASA said Tuesday night s launch was scrubbed because of cloud skies in Bermuda and Wallops. Backup launch days run through May 16.
If the rocket does launch Wednesday night, it may be visible in the Eastern United States.

BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) A Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advisory panel voted Wednesday afternoon to approve Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine for use in 12-15 year olds.
That panel met after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded the Emergency Use Authorization for Pfizer s vaccine on Monday.
The next step in the process will be for CDC director Rochelle Wallensky to sign off on the expanded use of the vaccine.
Gov. Charlie Baker said there were about 400,000 people in Massachusetts between the ages of 12 and 15 in a press conference Wednesday morning. He said the state could start administering the vaccine to that age group as soon as Thursday.

Olmec is calling 90s kids back to the temple – would you heed the call?
The CW has announced that they’re rebooting “Legends of the Hidden Temple” for TV, but it won’t be for kids this time. The classic Nickelodeon competitive game show from the 90s will now feature adult competitors, in this new iteration.
The original series aired from 1993-1995 and was inspired by the adventures of Indiana Jones. The new reboot is said to be supersized and reimagined for grown-up competitors. You can bet that the temple guards will be even scarier this time!
According to the relaunch’s logline, series favorites Olmec, the giant talking stone head, “Moat Crossings,” “Steps of Knowledge” and “Temple Run” will all be returning. Team names will also be staying intact, including the “Purple Parrots,” “Blue Barracudas,” “Orange Iguanas,” “Red Jaguars,” “Silver Snakes” and, of course, the “Green Monkees.”
