KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Towers of flame propel space shuttle Endeavour into the dark sky on the launch of the STS-123 mission. Liftoff was on time at 2:28 a.m. EDT from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. 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.
