After some delays the space shuttle Endeavour fi
nally got the clearance needed for lift off on it’s final journey to space.
The space shuttle Endeavour STS-134 sits on launch pad 39A after the rollback of the Rotating Service Structure at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida May 15, 2011. Endeavour and its six-man crew will deliver a unique astronomical and particle physics experiment to the International Space Station. The $2 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is designed to illuminate dark matter and other exotic forms of nature that so far have eluded scientists' grasp. REUTERS/Scott Audette

Journalists gather to cover the launch of the space shuttle Endeavour STS-134 as the sun rises at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida May 16, 2011. Launch pad technicians began filling shuttle Endeavour's fuel tank on Monday for a launch attempt at 8:56 a.m. EDT (12:56 GMT) on a mission to deliver a long-awaited physics experiment and spare parts to the International Space Station.
