Endeavour Space Shuttle

NASA's space shuttle Endeavour is getting prepared to blast off for space early Tuesday with seven astronauts on board. Led by commander Dominic Gorie, Endeavour's crew will install the first piece of Japan's three-part Kibo laboratory, assemble a monstrous, two-armed Canadian robot and deliver a suite of on-orbit experiments during their mission. The shuttle is counting down based on a plan to launch 2:28 a.m. on Tuesday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Gorie plans to spend 16 days staying on board their mission, which is the longest space station-bound flight NASA has ever launched. Not only that, the astronauts consider their mission as one of the most intense and complex, too. Endeavour has a 90 percent possibility of positive weather conditions at launch time, with the capability for thick clouds causing the only main threat. Hopefully, this shuttle will result as a success and make great history for NASA
