They just grew tired of all the bashing from the private space travel sector.

In a Washington press release, it was reported that NASA is planning its Return to Flight Space Shuttle mission, designated STS-114, for a launch window that opens in May 2005.

YES!!! Everest summit push, North Pole landing and NASA take-off - all within a few weeks! ExWeb will Rock!

NASA's Space Flight Leadership Council met today to consider a recommendation from the Space Shuttle Program to revise the Return to Flight target launch window to May 2005. The council endorsed the recommendation the May window, which opens from May 12 to June 3, 2005, is achievable.
