CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — On the eve of the next-to-last space-shuttle launch, thousands of people streamed to the region for a chance to watch today’s fiery spectacle. Adding to the excitement: the first visit by an entire presidential family.
Also watching Endeavour’s final liftoff at 3:47 EDT will be the shuttle commander’s wife, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was wounded in a January shooting.
As the countdown entered the final hours, forecasters revised their take on this afternoon’s weather. There was a 30 percent chance that low clouds or a stiff crosswind could force a delay, a slightly deteriorating outlook.
