Well NASA are at it again. Sending up the 22nd flight to the International Space Station.

Endeavour (STS-188) is said to be taking supplies and other things not only for the main purposes of the station but to fix a CO2 leak in the station. (CO2 problem not yet clarified)

I'm hoping it'll continue to become delayed.  I'll be in central Florida next week.  I'd like to see it take off.

It can't be Tuesday the 8th because Tuesday is the 7th.

I read of the NASA website 2 days ago it was set for Tuesday but they changed it yesterday for Wednesday  beacuse of weather.
