The space shuttle Endeavour finally achieved lift off on this last Monday morning-the second attempt, after clouds foiled the first. The shuttle blasted off on schedule at 4:14 a.m. - personally, I think a very fine time (its my birthday)- and this launching marks one of the last of the Endeavour. It is now carrying up the last major piece of the International Space Station, and is also delivering spare parts for the station's water system. Interesting how far we've come - from "Us against Them" to an International Space Station...hopefully this can continue to greater heights in the future.
