Space shuttle moves to launch pad
Jul. 11, 2007

The shuttle Endeavour arrived at its launch pad early Wednesday for a flight that will finally carry teacher-turned-astronaut Barbara Morgan into space. The mission, scheduled to begin Aug. 7, will take Morgan and six crewmates to the international space station. It's been a nearly five-year wait for Endeavour, but the shuttle has nothing on Morgan: She's been waiting 22 years to reach orbit. In 1985, Morgan was picked as Christa McAuliffe's backup to become the first teacher in space under a special NASA program. Then the Challenger carrying McAuliffe broke apart shortly after liftoff in 1986, and Morgan returned to teaching. In 1998, she was selected as a full-fledged astronaut. On her first mission, the 55-year-old Morgan will operate the shuttle's robotic arm, coordinate the transfer of cargo and talk from space to students at three schools, if the mission is extended.
