NASA’s Endeavour finally pays off.

Finally, at the 6th attempt, the space shuttle Endeavour has blasted off from the Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral in Florida.

The shuttle is taking Canadian astronaut Julie Payette to meet up with fellow Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk, who is at the International Space Station.

NASA TV continues to have full coverage of the mission.

Santa visits the International Space Station

Santa has taken a detour from his terrestrial route and gone up into space to visit the Astronauts in the International Space Station in orbit over the Earth.



Santa has sent me a message here at Viewpoint to let all European boys and girls know that they should be in bed, ready for him to visit later. He assures me that he's making good time, and as I write this, he's just arrived in the African continent.
