This article is about future plans for our space program and the recent launching of the Endeavour. The flight
was originally cancelled Sunday because of bad weather conditions. This morning was not perfect, but still good enough for a launch. The space shuttle had one problem, some of the foam insulation was peeling off into the first two minutes of flight. This, however, was not seen as a major problem, but was still going to get checked out. The article also mentioned how president Obama cancelled our next project to go to the moon, which was planned for 2020. It wasn't totally thrown out, but the plan will be delayed some years. Instead, we will focus on our orbiting space station. I think the Endeavour should be inspected immediately because that could be a serious problem. Obama's plan I think is better because I think it's more important to invest in something that is going on now and to help make our current astronauts more safe and comfortable.
