Shuttle Endeavour Begins Journey To Launch Pad

Space shuttle Endeavour began rolling out from Kennedy’s Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B Thursday at 11:57 p.m. EDT. The 4.2 mile journey is expected to take approximately 7 hours. Endeavour will stand by at Pad B in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary following shuttle Atlantis’ targeted May 12 launch to upgrade NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.
