When the launch director determines that conditions are not sufficiently safe, the launch will be cancelled (or scrubbed). The entire fleet of space shuttles was grounded twice to allow time for serious safety concerns to be addressed. This happend after each space shuttle disaster (Challenger and Columbia).
