Shuttle Endeavour launches

March 11th, 2008 | Category: Tampa Blog

   CAPE CANAVERAL — Rocket fire bathed the Kennedy Space Center like a dawn at 2:28 that wee hours, as the space shuttle Endeavour launched into orbit. Astronauts began a 16-day mission, the longest visit by a shuttle crew

to the universal space station. Among the mission highlights: setting up a two-armed, Canadian-built robot and installing the first piece of a Japanese laboratory.
