US space shuttle Endeavor will launch for one last time on Friday as NASA space shuttle program's next-to-last mission. The launch nears the end to the program's 30-year run.
The presidential family is expected to attend, as well as the wife of the shuttle commander, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who is recovering from a gunshot wound sustained while meeting constituents in January.
Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler reports from the Kennedy Space Center.

  • Never before has a first family witnessed a space launch?!

    So they do easter egg roles, pitch base balls and all that stupid nonsense but don't witness real, meaningful, groundbreaking human achievements?

    Does this also mean there wont be space launches anymore? I cant believe it.

  • What are the dots skipping at the top of the satellite at :30 ?

    UFO footage, reveals knowledge of life beyond Earth, hidden free

  • And why make a hole in the ozone layer.

    It does not matter that the next one million people die from skin cancer, / In addition, in 1:19 you can see how a piece of foam insulation falls away. So do not do the next hole back .....

    P.S

    Greet the dog Laika, if you see her;)

  • @JohnnyStorm2007 Yah man I see that too.. that must be a small ufo or recorder they have

  • Every time Shuttle launches it hundreds of Astronauts that do NOT get to go to space and/or thousands of pounds of Space cargo that do NOT go to space. Why? You can have 7 Atlas V launches for 1 Shuttle launch. You can have 32 Falcon9 launches for 1 Shuttle. ITS MUCH CHEAPER to have separate cargo and people rockets. The cost and risk of Shuttle are not worth the fact that the last 20 seconds of flight, it can land like an airplane. (except you cannot abort the landing).

  • @PkSage89 The first thing Obama needs to fix the the foul language being used by its spoiled youth.
