Updated: Launch Video Added

Shuttle Endeavor (STS-126) and her crew prepare for a spectacular night launch at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Endeavor and her crew of seven will be heading to the space station to help upgrade the aging home to the astronauts.

One such upgrade will allow the astronauts to make drinking water out of condensation and urine. The astronauts will be in orbit for 15 days, which unfortunately for them will include Thanksgiving. Thankfully they packed plenty of turkey and all of the fixings just for the occasion.
