NASA Moved Space Shuttle Endeavour a Step Closer… [Derived Headline]

NASA moved space shuttle Endeavour a step closer to liftoff without an essential part: the “u.” The spacecraft arrived at the its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday, and officials welcomed it with a banner reading “Go Endeavor.” It’s named after the first ship commanded by 18th century British explorer James Cook. The banner was up for about 90 minutes before being replaced by one with the correct spelling. — The Associated Press
