Endeavour Lifts Off for Its Final Mission

Blast off! After a series of delayed starts, the space shuttle Endeavour lifted off on its final mission Monday morning without a hitch. The shuttle's six-member crew is led by Mark Kelly, husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who attended the launch. NASA plans one more shuttle mission this summer, on sister ship Atlantis, before ending its 30-year shuttle program.
