The next space shuttle mission, STS-118, will be the space shuttle Endeavour which is now scheduled for launch on August 7th.
What makes this flight to the International Space Station significant is that we will have an 'educator' in space again. Not since the Challenger tradgedy in 1986 have we done this. At that time, it was the first attempt to place an educator in space - Christa McAuliffe.
Well this time, it is another educator - Barbara Morgan. What makes this even more significant is that Barbara was Christa McAuliffe's backup in 1986.
