According to Mike Leinbach, the shuttle launch director, “This was one of the smoothest countdowns ever. The team was very, very energized going into the count.”
This will be the last night time launch of the space shuttle Endeavor which has been launched 130 times. Docking of the Space Shuttle to the International Space Station will begin on flight day number three.
