The STS-126 mission got off to a fine start with the launch of Endeavour Friday evening. Later today, Endeavour is scheduled to dock with ISS.
Once there, the astronauts will deliver tons of supplies and new equipment to the space station, allowing an expansion of the size of the permanent crew from the current three to six. Doubling the crew will allow more science to be pursued.
There is some concern that Endeavour was struck by pieces of foam insulation during launch, but, so far, NASA says it's not a concern.
