OMG! Somebody nicked Endeavour!! :-O Oh wait, it's on the other side of the stack. :$ ;) :lol: Thanks for the reminder, Joe. All of the fuss over the Royal nuptials made me plumb forget about Endeavour. Wow, only one more Shuttle flight after Endeavour. I wonder if anyone has produced a mug commemorating the last flight of the Shuttle? :hide:

Endeavour’s launch has been scrubbed for at least 48 hours because of an issue with Auxiliary Power Unit 1 heaters.

Just as well Darren. A cold front pushed through and would have blocked my view.
I do feel for the scores of people who went to the Cape only to be let down because of the malfunction.
