Shuttle Heads To ISS For Extended Mission
UPDATE 03.11.08 0230 EDT: "Konichiwa, domo arigato and banzai!" Those
were the words of STS-123 Commander Dominic Gorie, after NASA mission
controllers announced everything was ready for the nighttime launch of
the
shuttle Endeavour... and moments ago, the orbiter rode a blazing trail
through
the dark Florida skies towards a rendezvous with the International
Space Station.
