Endeavour blasted off on the next-to-last shuttle flight Monday morning under the command of Mark Kelly, the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The wounded congresswoman watched the launch in private from Kennedy Space Center. As many as 45,000 guests jammed NASA's launch site. The crowd outside the gates was estimated to be in the tens of thousands, if not more. It was the second launch attempt. Late last month, an electrical problem halted the countdown. Endeavour and its six astronauts will arrive at the International Space Station on Wednesday. They are delivering a $2 billion particle physics experiment. The mission will last 16 days. Only one other shuttle trip remains.

  • i can cry about this the last endeavour mission.

    good bye endeavour

  • @Lowgaen11 The name has always sounded attractive to me. Endeavoring to push ourselves beyond what we can do.

  • @championonwheels i liked it but its prejudice.

  • It would really be awesome if every nation would just stop with any hostility toward anybody, and all together with combine forces develop 1 bad ass space program, and start to explore space.

    O well atleast i can dream :P

  • That take off was really awesome.

  • and now we wait the long wait till the SLS comes out agh!!! anticipation is gonna kill us space geeks

  • @TheJediSlayer7 so what makes ir your fav? just curious.

  • @MrNathanDanger I hope we get there someday.

  • Endeavour is my most favorite space shuttle. It's a shame to see it never be able to fly again. I look forward to the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle.
