Endeavour launched
The endeavour has been launched for a long trip to the international space station.
The launch from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, was a beautiful sight, according to witnesses.
This time it was special because it was nighttime.
This will be the longest space station mission ever: 16 days!
Some goals are to build a Canadian robot and construct part of a Japanese science module.
% space walks are planned.
So there are many records to break on this trip.
Let's hope the 7 astronauts will return safe and sound

This might be the worst storm of this winter.
England and Wales should reckon with winds of up to 80mph (130km/h).
Blizzards and heavy snow are expected for Scotland.
Ferries have been delayed or cancelled, including those between Dover and Callais.
