However, the space shuttle program seems to be seriously in trouble (intended launch of the space shuttle at 1-st of july has been procrasted again, and some claim that the space shuttle program has come to an end).
Your "seriously in trouble" is nothing more than some thunderclouds above the launch pad. It is common practice to scrub a day's launch window for that case. And you can't control the weather. There really is nothing special about it; it does not indicate any trouble whatsoever.

It's like saying your marriage is in serious trouble because your wedding garden party must be moved inside due to the rain.

Technically, the Shuttle was fully ready for launch on both days. (1 and 2 july 2006)
