FOX News and many other sources have been covering the final mission of the Space Shuttle Endeavour today. Much interest has been focused on the fact that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, wife of shuttle commander Mark Kelly, is well enough to attend. Incidentally, President Obama and his family also plan to be there - he is the first sitting President to make a personal appearance at a shuttle launch.
UPDATE: A heater failure has forced NASA to delay the shuttle launch by 3 days, according to a report on MSNBC. This comes as a disappointment to many, but the safety of the spacecraft and crew overrides all other considerations.
