Will Weather Stop NASA From Launching Endeavour Friday?

November 12, 2008

Some cold weather may prevent NASA from actually being able to launch the space shuttle Endeavour this coming Friday.<br /> ....Washington (dbTechno) - Some cold weather may prevent NASA from actually being able to launch the space shuttle Endeavour this coming Friday.

There are seven astronauts prepared and ready to go to start their mission to the International Space Station.

The 15-day mission is going to consist of a lot of work to be done on the International Space Station itself.

NASA has revealed a great deal of details on the mission, as astronauts will be installing new tools to use in space.

These new tools will consist of a brand new bathroom, kitchen, as well as other things.

Other additions that will be made to the ISS are a water recycling system, exercise machine, as well as a few new bedrooms.

The whole idea behind this is to increase the number of astronauts that can live at the International Space Station.

Currently, only 3 people can live on there at a time, this would double that number.

The launch coming Friday is a big one but could be delayed unfortunately due toa  cold front that will move across the U.S> Tuesday.

The launch window for the NASA Endeavour launch will go until November 25th.
