Endeavour Flag Is Flying

Posted in Astronomy, Space Shuttle at 8:54 am by Rebekah

So far it looks like Endeavour is go for launch! There’s still a slight chance of a postponement due to weather, but still hoping for the best!

We didn’t get to see the retraction of the RSS last night, as it was too stormy and kept getting postponed…and then our bus drivers (who would take us to view it near the pad) went home.

This was a VERY welcome and exciting sight this morning:

Here’s the view this morning, with Endeavour’s flag flying!

By the way, the countdown clock goes through several countdowns and holds, so this was not taken three and a half hours before launch. 🙂
