CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The water next to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida captures the brilliance of the launch of space shuttle Endeavour on its STS-126 mission while billows of smoke and steam roll across the pad. Liftoff was on time at 7:55 p.m. EST. STS-126 is the 124th space shuttle flight and the 27th flight to the International Space Station. The mission will feature four spacewalks and work that will prepare the space station to house six crew members for long-duration missions. Photo courtesy of Scott Andrews
