STS123-S-014 (11 March 2008) --- After the successful launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour, Shuttle Launch Director Mike Leinbach (right) cuts the tie of NASA Flow Director for Endeavour Ken Tenbusch, a tradition for first-timers. Liftoff was on time at 2:28 a.m. (EDT). The crew will make a record-breaking 16-day mission to the International Space Station and deliver the first section of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory and the Canadian Space Agency's two-armed robotic system, Dextre.
