Space Shuttle Endeavour and HOPE!
July 15, 2009
Space shuttle Endeavour blasted off today on the sixth launch attempt, after a month of delays caused first by a hydrogen leak and on-going bad weather delays. We watched the STS-127 Space Shuttle Endeavour Launch from my back yard. We are always awestruck by the innovation, size, power and speed the Space Shuttle in launch mode from Kennedy Space Center on the east coast of Florida . It was a great experience to watch Endeavour launch today, shortly after 6 p.m. EDT as scheduled. The seven-member crew of the Endeavour is slated to deliver a “front porch” for the station’s $1 billion Japanese Kibo complex. The word Kibo means “hope” in Japanese. The orbiter is scheduled to dock at the station on Friday, and return to Earth on July 31. It is one of the ultimate innovative global collabrotives of our time.
