After more than a month's delay, the space shuttle Endeavour and seven astronauts thundered into orbit Wednesday on a flight to the international space station.
Success came on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the liftoff of man's first moon landing.
Endeavour blasted off a little after 6 p.m. from its seaside pad -- the same one used to launch Apollo 11 on July 16, 1969.


I watched it on the NSA channel. It was awesome as always.
Hope the foam did not cause too much damage.
I will miss the shuttle when it is retired.
