Endeavour's Final Launch

  • 15 photos for sale Buy a Photo
  • Space shuttle Endeavour is almost ready for its historic, next-to-last shuttle mission, but was delayed when a faulty heater part forced NASA to scrub the launch and slam the brakes on the space agency's biggest event in years, a flight made more fascinating to many by the plight of Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, the mission commander. The launch is scheduled to take place no sooner than Monday. Endeavour's flight was delayed until at least Monday.
