Reserachers have registered a new milestone in area of space discoveries. A new planet that mirrors earth's size and features has been detected, not too far, just outside our solar system.

The first family will watch the last launch of NASA’s youngest shuttle. After this mission, the shuttle will retire and will be sent for public display in a California museum. Endeavour will blast off from Kennedy Space Center in Cape
Canaveral, Fla. at 3:47 p.m. EDT on April 29.

Allard Beutel, Kennedy Space Center’s spokesman told Space.com, “We are a White House agency, we always welcome a visit from the president.”

The two astronauts were Stephen Bowen and Al Drew. These two space walkers had huge duties bestowed upon them.

The vacuum and low temperature in space makes the space walk a challenging task. They departed from the U.S. Quest airlock at 11:18 am, dressed in specially designed protective spacesuit.

This was the 154th spacewalk, since the first two station building blocks were connected in 1998.

At the outset, Stephen Bowen was not the chosen spacewalker for this mission, but as spacewalker Tim Kopra met a bicycle accident, in January, Bowen replaced him in this mission.
