Much as I wanted to be there in Titusville area, just unfortunate that when you live nearby, you chose to stay indoor and watch it on TV. But, I asked my hubby that we will drive to the airport instead and saw it in 360 degree angle. Yes! We were there and we saw the last flight of Shuttle Endeavor.
Endeavour, one of two currently operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA. The other is Atlantis which will be scheduled to launch in June or July. Endeavour is the fifth and final space worthy NASA space shuttle to be built. It was constructed as a replacement for Challenger. It's first flight was May 1992 on mission STS-49. Its STS-134 mission was originally thought as the final mission of the Space Shuttle program but, the proposed STS-135 mission was approved therefore, Atlantis will be the final Space Shuttle to fly.
Today's launch is Shuttle Endeavours last flight from May 16-24, 2011. Here's the basic facts: Endeavour has 25 total missions with 48 total crews and it deployed 3 satellites. Though the weather changed to cloudy after it lifted from the ground, the amazing few seconds lift off was worth viewing.
We were at the airport and saw some guests in the Hyatt Hotel too, occupying the top garage area who were waiting for the Shuttle Endeavour Launch. The launch was quick as usual but, it's worth it.
Mao nia akong tampo karong semanaha. Ang pag LUPAD sa Endeavour nag gumikan sa NASA, Kennedy Space Center sa Florida. Anhi mo diri mga higala kay manan-aw ta sa ulahi nga paglupad karong Hunyo ha:-)
