After low-lying clouds scrubbed the first attempt, STS-130 took off at 4:14 am in what is scheduled to be the last night launch of a space shuttle. The Space Task Force was on hand for the historic launch of Endeavour–as we will be for each of these ‘Final Five’ launches in 2010.
STS-130 is carrying the Tranquility module (formerly known as “Node 3”) along with the special multi-window “cupola” viewport. The crew of Endeavour will spend their first two days catching up to the space station before docking to start their mission.
The orbiter is scheduled to return to Kennedy Space Center Stay late on Feb 20 after 13 days in space. Stay tuned to the Space Task Force as we continue our extended mission coverage of STS-130 from rollout to the pad to rollout on the runway.

In the final part of our 4 part series, Space 2010, we remember the words of Gemini and Apollo Astronaut Ed White. In describing his first spacewalk, he talked about having “unlimited visibility.” Space provides “unlimited visibility” – but it also provides something more – and the more is the focus of this final segment.

Is it me, or does it seem crazy, that even today, we have to justify sending people into space? The so-called “spinoff” argument. As we continue our series, Space 2010, we look at the most important spinoff of all — ourselves.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Project Apollo as much as any space enthusiast. However, something’s been lost in the space of 40 years. In Part 2 of a special report, we look at the bleak reality of where we are, and what must be done.

2009 marked 40 years since the first time people walked on the moon. 40 years. What did Apollo teach us? Have we done enough to honor the legacy – or was it just about footprints and flags? It will never be a good time to do the impossible, the difficult – or the challenging. What we need is the resolve to evolve. There is simply no other choice.

At the Space Task Force, we’ve been fortunate to be near the front lines during this massive transition to the next space age.
So much is happening. And as things change, it is critical we participate in any way we can.
Will we make the right decisions for the long term? What will happen after the space shuttle? Are we up for the challenge?
This short video looks ahead to 2010 and also back to John F. Kennedy and his address to the students at Rice University in 1962.

The Space Task Force at the launch of STS-129. Wow. Tim and I have been fortunate to see launches at the Kennedy Space Center, but today was extremely special. Cloudy weather cleared, we got to see a lot of old friends and the launch was incredible. As NASA starts to wind down the Space Shuttle Program – it’s important to think about the future. 5 flights remain. We’ll see you in space!
